After studying tax brochures for some time, I found that US tax system is actually more flexible if you have mortgage, small business, or professional education, etc. Auto registration fee, education expense, and even local sales tax can be deducted from your tax paid. Only bad news is, this time needs to pass all those savings to Canadian government, especially when the Canadian dollar is appreciating.
To take the best advantage in paying federal, state, and local taxes, consider filing fed and state returns first. I got both in four weeks with paper return. Then, if you don't have lacal tax withhold, you can pay it before the deadline. The last step is to file for CA return as you need to verify the actual US taxes you paid. As I withdrew all RRSPs before leaving Canada last year, I have to pay around 30% in tax for those money. But this is necessary to avoid any asses in the following years.
Absolutely don't want to go through the same process next year.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
