Taxes based on (American citizen) Canadian PR married to Canadian.

[Home_I_will_be]

While in the USA, I didn’t work. My husband claimed me as his wife on his form. I made no income

We now live in Canada, but he works online for a USA company.

I don’t work. I will file a Canadian income tax form stating I make no income, I’m married, and I list my spouses income.

My husband will file a Canadian income tax form as married, his foreign income will be listed.

My husband will also file an American income tax form stating his income......

BUT I am not american, or a resident anymore, does he still list me as his wife with no income??Last year it asked for my SSN because I lived there.
And what if I made income... I shouldn’t have to tell the American government what I made??

But if he files as single, he will be lying and he will pay more taxes!!!!!

You need to talk to a tax professional.
This is an immigration forum. Doubt you'll get proper responses here.

He should file taxes in the U.S. as "married filing separately".

Maybe not, but it was worth asking. I’m sure others are in the same boat and have experience.

Oh ok, I didn’t know that could be done. Thank you.

If possible, I would hire an accountant who handles cross border taxation. Taxes for US expats can be complicated and confusing.
