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.
