COMMON QUESTIONS
U.S.–Canada cross-border tax service FAQs.
These answers are general. Your filing obligations depend on your facts and the rules for the relevant year.
Do U.S. citizens living in Canada still file U.S. tax returns?+
U.S. citizens generally remain subject to U.S. return and information-reporting rules while abroad. The exact filings and relief depend on income, accounts, entities, residence, and other facts.
Can the same income be taxed in both the United States and Canada?+
Both countries may initially include an item under domestic rules. Sourcing rules, treaty provisions, exclusions, deductions, and foreign tax credits can affect the coordinated result.
Do remote workers need tax returns in both countries?+
Possibly. Work location, residence, employer location, payroll, travel days, and treaty rules can affect filing and withholding obligations.
What records should a cross-border client gather?+
Start with citizenship and immigration documents, a travel calendar, income and tax slips from both countries, account and investment statements, property records, entity documents, and prior U.S. and Canadian returns.
Can you help someone moving between the U.S. and Canada?+
Yes. A move-year review can organize departure and arrival dates, residence ties, income timing, payroll, property, accounts, benefits, and the returns potentially required in both countries.
