We just received our packet 3 from Montreal and have a question???

Can anyone speak to IRS issues and filing in Canada. She has been living in Canada as a landed immigrant for 26 years and not filed tax returns in the US. We thought that was correct since she was not domiciled in the US. Was she supposed to be filing and will she need to file in order to fill out the affidavit of support form.

The simple answer is yes. Even when not domiciled in the U.S. citizens are required to file.

Did she earn any money? I assuming so. If that is the case yes she will have to do her returns.

The thing is technically she should have filed for the last 26 years, unless she was not required to do so because her income was too low to file. That cut off amount is included in the instructions for each year. (It's around the $3000 U.S. mark for 04/05/06).

Basically right now, if she had income over that she will need to file for 04/05 and 06 to complete the affidavit of support.

Quick fix: File the last years and investigate what she will need to do to 'come clear' ;) with the IRS. My husband didn't know about filing either, and we filed 'late' - so far, no problem (4 years of non-filing). She will need to file at least the 3 years immigration officials require, me thinkssss.

Good luck, L.
