Our Clients
US Expat Living in Canada
This client is a U.S. citizen or green-card holder who has established permanent residency in Canada but still maintains ongoing and significant U.S. tax obligations. In addition to managing their financial life in Canada, they are required to file an annual U.S. tax return, report all foreign bank and investment accounts, and comply with complex U.S. worldwide income reporting rules. These individuals often face confusing cross-border filing requirements and need clear guidance to navigate the IRS expectations, avoid penalties, and stay fully compliant with both countries’ tax systems.
A Canadian with Real Estate in the US
Whether it’s a vacation home, an investment property, or a rental unit intended to generate ongoing income, these individuals must navigate several U.S. tax obligations that apply specifically to foreign owners, including FIRPTA rules for property sales, annual rental income reporting, complex withholding requirements, and obtaining or maintaining an ITIN. As cross-border property ownership becomes increasingly common, these clients require clear guidance to ensure they meet all IRS expectations and avoid unexpected tax consequences.
A Canadian Working in the US
Either full-time on a TN or H-1B visa, while still maintaining significant residential and financial ties to Canada. These cross-border professionals often find themselves navigating a complicated mix of tax rules in both countries, as their income, residency status, and filing obligations can be affected by where they live, how long they stay in the U.S., and the specific terms of their visa.
They must also consider Canada–U.S. tax treaty provisions, potential dual-filing requirements, possible foreign tax credits, and each country’s rules for determining tax residency. Because of these overlapping and sometimes conflicting rules, these individuals need accurate, tailored guidance to ensure they remain compliant, minimize double taxation, and clearly understand their obligations on both sides of the border.
