As a US Citizen or deemed permanent resident, you are required to file a US return each year regardless that the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) requires you to file and pay taxes in Canada. Even though the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion is available to exclude earned income from US taxation, FEIE can only be claimed by filing a US Income Tax Return. The exclusion increases annually: 2023 = $120,000 in US currency. If you failed to file a return, the US tax authority (IRS) can deny you this exclusion in the event of an audit.
Also available by filing a US Tax Return is the Foreign Tax Credit that is available to offset Canadian taxes.
As an expat living abroad (outside of US), the annual filing deadline is normally 15 June. Any US taxes owed for the calendar year 2023 must have been paid by 15 April to avoid penalties.
Other filing requirements that carry stiff penalties for oversight include the Foreign Banking Account Report (FBAR) as well as information returns for corporations, partnerships and estates that are foreign amongst others.
Under the US/Canadian Totalization Agreement, self-employed persons paying Canadian social security taxes may exclude the payment of these taxes to US. Bona-fide employees of Canadian entities are not obliged to pay US Social Security taxes on their wages.
Earnings exempted under Canadian tax law associated with RRSP are reportable to IRS on a form that exempts earnings from US taxes.
Occasionally we have helped US persons catch up back tax filings in a IRS program exempting filers from some onerous penalties. Occasionally, too, we have helped US citizens and residents to renounce their US citizenship and Green Cards in situations where renunciation makes financial sense.
Most often, due to high rates of taxation in Canada with foreign tax credits to offset, taxes may not be owed against US tax returns. Due care should be exercised in filing a Canadian tax return as CRA is more active in auditing Canadian tax returns than IRS with US tax returns.
