Moved to USA in Nov 2007.

I live in VA and work at the Canadian Embassy (subject to Canadian Taxes - T4) and also have a PT job with an American Employer -W2..

I'm a Canadian Citizen.

Married in Jan 2008 to a US Citizen who works for a US Employer-W2 (nice and straight forward)

We also bought a house in Nov 2008.

So, Is there anyway possible that I can do our Taxes myself with Tax software for Canada and the US? or do I need to shell out $1000 and get an accountant who can do both US & Canadian Taxes to do it for us?

HELP!

PS. I'm going to the LEAFS vs. caps game tomorrow night! woooohooooo!

OV was injured in practice today, hopefully nothing serious! Enjoy the game!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

It is very important you come to the thread. Your situation is very complicated and it is VERY important that you do things right. If you don't it would jeopardize your PR status.
