If you worked in the USA in 2010, you will need to file a US tax return. IF you ONLY worked in the US last year and had no Canadian income then you only have to file a US tax return. If you worked in or had income from BOTH countries you have to file in both.

If you only need to file in the US it is straight forward, but if you are filing in both the US and Canada there are various ways to do it and it is more complicated.

There is a Canadian regional forum on this site. You probably will get better answers for cross border tax questions there. Link below:
