Hello PK, thanks for responding to my question.
I visited the US from time to time, but nothing over my allowed visitation (my husband is American and we would see each other for a few weeks at a time, not over the 180 day limit per year). I did not move to the US until I had my green card in hand.
I receive a T4 from my company and pay full Canadian taxes, pension, old age security, unemployment, etc. I am under the impression that because I pay these taxes I will not be taxed twice due to the tax treaty.
I understand what portion of my income is under US purview, but don't know how to complete my tax return with the prompts as they exist currently. It seems to assume that if I have foreign income that I must also live in a foreign place.
I don't know if I'd be able to claim this as self-employment income when I am having to prove I paid taxes to Canada on it to get the tax credit.
