I want to know too. Correct me if i am wrong: you and your spouse are both deemed resident in 2006 tax year. Your family have to do tax return to canada by using Non-resident and deemed resident form.

Just one point: according double taxation treaty, one could not be both residents in these two country.

You are right! Actually he/she must file dual status in US this year even he is resident in US

You need to cut your bond with Canada before doing that, cancel all credit cards, debit cards, no car, no properties and no direct family members in Canada, then you can claim that status.

You are wrong. credit cards, debit cards are not significant ties to canada. Those are second tie, so you can keep it

That is right. The facts stated by "kanacuul" are criteria for the test, itself is or might be correct. However,the criteria to determine the resident status include the legislations, case laws as well as international treaties. Without context and by the way of the posting, I would contend "kanacuul" is methodologically and logically wrong. He/she made it an only "necessary and sufficient condition", which is incorrect.

if you still have any relation with canada as mentioned above, you can not stop your tax reporting even from Oct. if you did that, then go ahead to do it, only claiming 10 mo tax to Canada.

you can always consult Revenue Canada for your tax issue, dial 1-800-O-Canada, ask for USA access number, then talk to them, They can answer any Qs from you 'cause they collect money from your tax

What visa you have in US? US taxation resident is closely related to your immigration stauts in US. Basically, it is unlike you will be the US resident this year because you do not reside there over enough days.

The result is you might be Canadian resident up to Oct and non-Canadian resident after Oct (Para rata). You will be non-US resident for the year.

I think I can have an option to be non-US resident even I don't have enough days in US this year, but I will have enough days in US next year. Am I right?

To be non-US-resident, there is no requirement of days to reside in US. However, to be US-resident, there is such requirement. It means you will surly be non-US-resident for this year. It is not an option.

As I understand, US taxation resident status does strictly depends on your days reside in US.Since you are unable to reside enough days in US, I could not see how you become US resident for year 2006. May be some special case law exist? If you do find out, please let us know. Thanks in advance.

Did I say "However, the benefit of the lower tax rate of US will be eroded by paying Canadian tax after you lodge your Canadian non-resident tax return"?That was totally wrong! You do not need to include your US sourced income in your Canadian tax return because you are non-Canadian-resident. Sorry about it.
