Hi all:

OK so, I filed my own Canadian taxes this year (2011) after much research I felt confident in my filing. My result was a refund of $1300.00 CDN. When I brought our (my husband and I filed jointly) US taxes to a tax consultant she used my CDN tax info when calculating our US taxes. She said if Canada amended our taxes drastically and for example decided I was only due 300$ we should amend our US taxes as we would get more back, but if it was minor or we got more back, not to amend the US ones. I just received my CDN assessment and for some reason they were drastically changed but to the tune of a $3200 refund...!!!! My question is: do we need to amend our US taxes to reflect this difference and if we don't what/if anything would be the consequence?

Thanks in advance!!

Whether you need to amend your US tax return will depend on why the Canadian tax authorities have amended your Canadian tax return. Have they reduced your income, increased allowances etc?

Take your Canadian tax assessment to your US tax adviser and they will be able to work out if you need to amend your US tax return.

I would consider asking in this tax forum for US/Cdn tax issues. Flames has long recommended it and I've successfully received answers to some questions.
