I am confused about what I need to do for my taxes to the IRS/CRA.

Ok... Here's the situation:

-I moved from Canada December 18, 2011 and filed exit taxes with CRA for 2011. I didn't file anything to IRS since I had no income here in 2011.

-My husband I and were married 02/11/12

-I received EI from Canada from May 2012 - August 2012

-I cashed in some canadian stocks I had in June 2012, never really made much on it and didn't receive any tax documents yet

-I started working here in the USA September 2013

Do I need to file taxes in Canada? If I do, what type? Do I put my Canadian income on my IRS return somewhere?

Should probably just hire someone to do our returns LOL

Any information would help.. or a link to helpful information.

You need to get someone to do your returns because you'll actually have to file Canadian taxes as well. How did you get EI while living the US?

read the EL thread stickied at the top of the forum.

Because when you move to be with your fiance you can qualify for EI if you meet the other requirements. It starts when you get your EAD.

Wow! All of this is very interesting to me. Where can I find more information about exit taxes and EI while I wait to work in the USA?

What are the requirements to qualify for EI?

Thanks!
