Personal returns

US & Canadian tax preparation

US Form 1040 and Canadian T1 preparation, with applicable state and provincial requirements considered. Your income and taxes paid are reviewed across both returns.

Personal cross-border tax
Tax paid in both countries

Foreign tax credit reconciliation

Foreign tax credit help
A move across the border

Residency & departure-year filings

Your move date, residential ties and continuing income set the starting point. Review reporting periods, departure schedules and the facts behind your filing position.

Canada–US filing support
Overseas accounts and assets

FBAR, FATCA & T1135

Foreign account and asset reporting has its own rules. Establish whether FBAR, Form 8938 or Canadian T1135 applies, and which supporting forms belong in your engagement.

International reporting
Retirement and savings

RRSP, TFSA & pension questions

A Canadian account’s local tax treatment does not settle its US treatment. Review contributions, withdrawals and reporting before making a cross-border decision.

Cross-border planning
Stocks, funds and compensation

Investments & equity compensation

Brokerage activity, stock options, RSUs and foreign funds can affect both returns. We work through income, cost basis, exchange rates and potential PFIC reporting.

PFIC and investment reporting
Property on either side

Rental income & property sales

Keep rental summaries, gains, withholding and relevant non-resident requirements connected with your personal returns. Tell us before a purchase, sale or change of use.

Cross-border property tax
Owners and companies

Business interests & corporate work

Identify self-employment income and foreign ownership reporting at intake. Canadian T2 returns, corporate filings and valuation work are scoped and quoted separately.

Unfiled returns or disclosures

Missed years & catch-up filings

Review the years outstanding on either side. We prepare prior-year returns and assess whether a streamlined US route fits your circumstances before a submission.

Catch-up filing support

Two returns due? Start with one conversation.

Tell us where you live, when you moved and what is outstanding. We’ll identify the US and Canadian work and explain what the quote includes.

Describe your situation

US CPAs. Canadian CPAs. One team.

Your US return and Canadian return share income, payment records and timing decisions. Our specialists work on both sides of the file, so those connections are checked before filing. You review the drafts and authorize each return before submission.

  • US and Canadian specialists assigned to your file
  • Income classified by country and type
  • Credits, withholding and exchange rates cross-checked
  • Filing order and payment instructions explained

Know what is included before work begins.

Cross-border files vary. Your quote should identify the returns, supporting schedules and records needed, rather than leave you guessing after preparation starts.

Your scope

Returns and reporting in writing

We confirm the personal returns, states or provinces and supporting forms included. Corporate returns, business valuations, advisory projects and missed years are identified and quoted separately where needed.

Discuss what your file needs
Your fee

Quoted around your actual file

The number of returns, income categories, foreign accounts, departure work and condition of the records all affect the work. We explain the scope and fee before preparation begins.

Request your filing quote

From intake to filing, the two sides stay connected.

Start with prior returns, W-2 and T4 slips, your move date and account records. We flag missing information before preparation begins.

1

Intake and classification

Review the move-date facts, residency conclusion, income sources and account types. Confirm the engagement and separate business work.

2

Preparation and reconciliation

Prepare the US and Canadian returns and included schedules. Reconcile tax credits, withholding and the treaty position relevant to your facts.

3

Approval, filing and support

You review the drafts and approve filing. We explain the sequence and payments, with support for notices, corrected documents and next year’s file.

What crosses the border belongs in the same review.

A move is only part of the story. The accounts you keep, income you continue to receive and assets you sell can all affect the US and Canadian file.

Your move and work

  • US–Canada move dates
  • Residential ties in each country
  • Employment and contract income
  • W-2 and T4 slips
  • US state connections
  • Self-employment activity

Your accounts and assets

  • Bank and brokerage statements
  • RRSP, TFSA and pension records
  • Stock options and RSUs
  • Foreign fund holdings
  • Rental property income
  • Property sales and withholding

Your filings and payments

  • Prior US and Canadian returns
  • Tax paid in each country
  • Foreign account reports
  • Departure-year schedules
  • Unfiled years
  • IRS or CRA correspondence

You do not need to settle every form before contacting us. Start with your situation and the years involved. We will tell you which records are relevant, what is missing and how to share documents securely.

A cross-border file needs more than a handoff.

Our team brings the US and Canadian work into one coordinated process. The specialist preparing each side knows which figures the other return relies on, and the final review checks those connections.

Remote consultations are available across the US and Canada. Bring last year’s returns and the date of your move to the first conversation. If planning decisions are still open, we can scope that advice before return preparation.
