Filing cross border tax ( CAN and USA)

Hello,

I relocated from Canada to New Jersey, USA in July 2024 for work. From January 1 to July 5, I was employed in Canada, and from July 5 onwards, I have been working for my US employer. During this period, I returned to Canada to get married, and my wife has continued to earn Canadian income until August. She has not worked in the USA since our move. We both have RRSP accounts in Canada. I have closed my TFSA and FHSA accounts (and paid the associated taxes) before moving to the USA. My wife has approximately $1,000 in her TFSA and no FHSA.

Given that I have not stayed in the USA for more than 180 days in 2024, I do not believe I am a US tax resident for that year. Could you please provide guidance on the steps we need to take to file our taxes? Any help is appreciated.
