    That's great. All the best. I'll call them too and see if they have an update on my case. Thank you

    Taxes/Payroll - Working in US/ Living in Windsor

    Well, in hindsight, I should have hired a different accountant but she's been doing cross-border taxes for 35+ years for US and Canadian border agents and business people. In any case, the reason I was filing my return with the CRA was to report my U.S. income and claim credits for taxes paid in...

    Daily commute (Detroit-Windsor) (H1b and Canada PR)

    I used to commute to work across the border at least 3-4 days a week and fly to different ops centers of my employer for work all across the U.S. prior to the pandemic. I will start going back in to the office starting Monday (2/28) in a hybrid model. My issue with the CRA is on my 2019 return...

    Taxes/Payroll - Working in US/ Living in Windsor

    Thanks. My accountant was adamant that I do not pay any taxes to the CRA. I should have gone to a different accountant a long time ago instead of wasting almost a year in going back and forth with the CRA on this matter. Had I known I owe the tax difference to the CRA, I would have paid it a...

    Daily commute (Detroit-Windsor) (H1b and Canada PR)

    Hey, yes, my accountant and I spoke with a couple of CRA agents and once I involved my Member of Parliament's office to help me with this issue, I got a call directly from the CRA guy who processed my return. Over the last year, I provided my 1040, W-2, IRS tax transcript for 2017-2020 years and...

    Taxes/Payroll - Working in US/ Living in Windsor

    Thank you. It's very frustrating. The people at the CRA who deal with cross border taxpayers are severely under-trained and don't even understand that Canada and U.S. share a land border and I could actually drive to work across the border in under 40 minutes from where I live. One CRA agent...

    Taxes/Payroll - Working in US/ Living in Windsor

    All the best, keep us posted on how it goes. I'll do the same. My accountant and I spent over 50 hours preparing responses, submitting evidence, supporting documents, W-2s, IRS tax transcripts for the last 4 years, retirement savings account statements. Heck we even got our local Member of...

    Taxes/Payroll - Working in US/ Living in Windsor

    I have a Canadian PR, live in BC, work (by commute and remote sometimes) full-time in the U.S. on an H-1B and filed my returns with the IRS and the CRA for the past 3 years. I have no Canadian source of income. All of my taxes are withheld by my employer and I get a W-2 every year. I report my...

    Daily commute (Detroit-Windsor) (H1b and Canada PR)

    I'm a Canadian PR living in BC and working full-time in the U.S. on an H-1B. CRA sent me reassessments for both 2019 and 2020 and are asking me to pay over 55K CAD in taxes even though I showed them all the IRS tax returns, W-2s etc. I have recent received collection notices too. Has anyone here...
