Tax File Questions to Whom Living in Canada but Commuting to U.S.

[hanna and alice]

Hi, I'm living in Vancouver but working for a U.S. company. I'm Canadian PR and green card holder, and to fulfill the living obligation, I choose to live in Vancouver and turned my green card to commuter green card until I got Canadian citizenship. I rented a small apartment in Bellingham and travelled there 2 times per week.

Is there anyone here in the same situation? How did you file the tax?

You file US tax and then file Canadian tax...
There is income tax treaty between US and Canada. So you will get "credit" from the US tax paid and only pay the difference for the Canadian tax return.
This is a highlevel idea. You can hired an accountant whose familiar with cross border tax returns.

Not really. I do not work in the States any more.
