Hi There,
1) Am I allowed to work in USA by commuting back to home in Canada everyday?
2) If so, I was wondering if you could help me on how to file the taxes while working
in Detroit by being in Windsor? ( I mean, do I have to pay tax in Canada too!!! If
so, how I have to deal with it?)
3) Does it affects any ways in getting the citizenship of Canada with in the
compulsary three years stay?
Your kind rsponces will be very much appreciated & valuable to me to make a
major decision.
Thanks a lot,

There's an accountancy that specializes in US-Canada cross-border issues ...
http://www.serbinski.com/
Usual disclaimers apply.
While you're liable to Canada and (e.g.) Ontario for the difference, be sure to count
ALL the deductions made on your US-sourced paycheque. The most common goof made by
Canadians is to not count the high federal payroll tax in the US that helps to push
the highest-taxed US states (including Michigan, never mind New York State) into the
Canadian zone.
For $80,000 income (local currency) in Calgary versus Chicago:
http://www.treas.gov.ab.ca/calc-script/tax_calc.html
CA: $13,629 AB: $5973 CPP & EI: $2374
http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor...n_tax/main.asp
US: $15,699
CB: $2250 FICA: $5737.50
[C.C., the MSN calculator is for US federal income tax only, no state and local
income tax nor federal payroll tax.]
Alberta is the lowest-taxed Canadian province, Illinois is the 12th-highest taxed
American state. Ontario is #2 in Canada for less than $80,000 while British Columbia
is now #2 for over $80,000 (a retroactive provincial tax cut of 25%).
