Question on Tax Filing

[Soulmates513 3]

Hi All,

I apologize if I'm not posting this in the proper location. I have a few specific questions regarding filing taxes. I moved in December 2011 and filed my taxes in Canada for that year. For the 2012 year, I was in the US for the entire year.

1) I received Canadian Unemployment Insurance benefits for about 2 months in 2012. Do I report this income on Canadian Income tax or the U.S. - or both?

2) I had my money in Canada for part of 2012 and have received interest on these funds. All of my money has now been converted and is in a U.S. bank in U.S. funds. Do I report the interest earned on Canadian Income tax or the U.S. - or both? (I did see one post that said there is a spot on the U.S. tax for this).

3) I still have RRSP's in Canada and I saw a post that said you have to report this to the IRS - for informational purposes.

Thank you to all who can help me with this.

if you have RRSP's in Canada---1) you have to notify the Bank/compnay that holds the RRSP"s ur no longer a Cdn resident 2) one has to notify the IRS when u file ur yearly taxes--done so by filling out form 8891. If u use a tax software program as Turbo tax, it will take you down the right path. The Feds wil take no $$$, just because u have RRSP (until u take it out , maybe) but each State may handle them differently! Again, turbo tax should lead u in the right direction (or nay big name tax prep soft ware--I just know turbo tax in the past has mentioned RRSP)
