Americans Living in Canada – Smile, The IRS is Watching You

There are well over a million US citizens residing in Canada. Additionally, there are many Canadian citizens who were born in the US, or who have lived and worked there and later returned to Canada. Over the last few years the US government has stepped up its pursuit of Americans residing abroad who are not tax compliant.

Owning U.S Property the Canadian Way, Third Edition

For decades, Canadians have been seeking refuge from the harsh Canadian winters by heading south to the sunny skies and sandy beaches of Florida, Arizona, California and the other Sun Belt states. Buying and owning U.S. property for a Canadian resident can be confusing, stressful and filled with uncertainty.
