Moving money & assets to usa

[journadian 13]

I'm originally from Canada, PR in USA for 4-5years.  I remember reading there was a deadline for moving assets and money to USA.  I can't remember where I read it or the reason for this deadline.  Can someone provide me info on this and the rules, etc.  (Cdn dollar is finally rising again, thinking it's a good time to move it.)

 

thanks

There is no deadline. Just remember to annually report it to IRS if required: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/report-of-foreign-bank-and-financial-accounts-fbar

No deadline.

 

Accounts at foreign financial institutions have to be reported annually if the total amount of money abroad exceeds $10,000 at any time of the year, see https://bsaefiling.fincen.treas.gov/main.html  and https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-utl/irsfbarreferenceguide.pdf 

 

Real estate and personal property do not have to be disclosed.

 

If you are renting out foreign property you have to report the income on your IRS tax return.
