Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@asitamin ,  from your post, I understand  that :

(a) your are a Canadian citizen working remotely for US entity;

(b) you are having US federal taxes withheld ( + FICA ?   ) but not State Taxes  because you are domiciled  in Canada;

(c) you have been approved  for Green Card ( did you enter US post that approval to consummate your status ? )

The issue is whether you ARE a resident of US or  NOT.

If you are a resident, then you are subject to US taxes ( even if domiciled abroad) and you file a form 1040. You are also subject to  FBAR ( Fincen form 114) and FATCA regs ( form 8938 ).

If you are NOT a resident, then you are not subject to US taxes  and NOT subject to FBAR and FATCA regs -- generally.

So the whole thing hangs on your immigration status .

Please answer my questions, including if you are  married ( and filing a joint return) and if so to a US person or not ?

In the meantime  i list below  a page from IRS covering the generalities of  Green Card and as it affects residency --:

https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/residency-starting-and-ending-dates.

 

I will circle back once I hear back from you.
