I was only in the US for 5 days last year[*]Can I file a 1040ez? I have no stocks , 401k etc, property in USA only some vehicles registered there[*]I got married to a canadian in 2008 however she does not have a ssn, so can I claim her in my taxes as a dependent or would I be better claiming single?[*]how do I file for an extension until I get all ths figured out... I do not want to file a 1040NR as I may lose my green card.[*]Can't I just file wages as zero and no w2 Do I need to send IRS copy of Canadian T4 and at what rate would I convert canadian to us dollars if they want to know my salary in equivalent us dollars Any advise welcomed I want to keep it as simple if that is at all possible!!

On your return, you must report your world wide income. If you paid taxes in the foreign country, you will claim credit for taxes paid in the foreign country by filing Form 1116. You do not need W2 to report your foreign income. You your own record like payment slips, bank statements, or salary certificate from employer. You will need this only when IRS questions you.

He can claim the Foreign Income Exclusion (Form 2555), but only for part of his salary. He will pay taxes on the non-excluded part, and can claim the Foreign Tax Credit on the taxes assessed against the non-excluded portion of his salary.
This return is exceptionally complicated and should be done by an experienced tax professional. |
