Does TurboTax support Canadian resident aliens with TN status?

I am a Canadian working in the US on a TN visa. I have passed the substantial presence test for the year so I am considered a resident alien. Does TurboTax fully support my situation? Are there any extra filings I should be aware of?

@LordEarendil , first my apologies for such a long delay in responding. Please do forgive -- my fault.

TN visa ( while exclusive ) does not change anything  as far as tax reporting goes.  You use the same tests ( Substantial Presence Test ) to delineate Non-Resident  vs. Resident tax filing.

As a resident you are taxed on your world income ( just like US citizens) and therefore all the deductions / credits  etc. are all available to you.

TurboTax can indeed handle all the  situations that are applicable to a tax filing for the USA and  for the State.  My personal bias is towards download/ CD version  of Home & Business ( while being most expensive ) because  (a) it covers all situations  including foreign  tax credits, rental prop. etc. ) and (b) all the work is done my machine and files are stored thereon and I can get to them as and when  required.  For your particular case though,  the deluxe  may be sufficient unless you have properties in Canada and/or incomes from sources  outside the USA and are also taxed by another jurisdiction(s).

 

Does this answer you query ?

Is there more I can do for you ?
