US & Canada cross-border filing

Filing in both countries, handled by one team.

Two firms, two timelines, and nobody owning the overlap. That is how cross-border filers end up double-taxed or late. We file both sides, so nothing sits between them.

Who this is for

If any of these is you, you have a cross-border file.

  • You are a US citizen or green card holder living in Canada, and you still owe a US return.
  • You are a Canadian resident earning US income, from employment, rental property, or a US entity.
  • You moved across the border this year, in either direction, and you have a part-year position on both sides.
  • You run a corporation on one side and sell into the other.
  • You hold accounts or property abroad and you are not certain whether FBAR or T1135 applies.
  • You filed one side and skipped the other, and you want it cleaned up.

Recognise yourself in one of these? Book the consult and we will tell you exactly what you are on the hook for, before you commit to anything.

What you get

What a cross-border engagement covers

Included

  • Personal and corporate returns prepared and filed on both sides
  • Treaty position analysis under the Canada and United States tax treaty
  • Foreign tax credit work, so the same dollar is not taxed twice
  • FBAR (FinCEN 114) and T1135 reporting where they apply
  • Part-year and residency-change positions
  • One named person who owns the file end to end
  • A tax consultant review before anything is filed
  • CFA-led advisory
  • Sign-off by a licensed practitioner of record

What changes a fee

Your fee is scoped and agreed in writing before we start. It moves for one reason only: the work moves. These are the things that change it.

  • Additional entities or additional filing years
  • Rental or business schedules on either side
  • A residency determination that needs a formal position
  • Prior-year cleanup or amended returns
  • A partner or spouse filing added to the engagement

Anything that changes the fee is agreed with you before the work happens. Never after.

One person owns your file end to end, a tax consultant reviews it, and a licensed practitioner of record signs off on both sides.

2-minute check

Do FBAR or T1135 apply to you?

Our guarantee

The quoted price is the price.

Two promises we put in writing, because "surprise invoice" and "still waiting to hear back" are why you left your last firm.

No surprise invoices

The fee we quote is the fee you pay. Scope changes are agreed before any extra work begins, never billed after the fact.

Same-business-day reply, or we make it right

Reach out during business hours and you hear back the same day. If we drop the ball, we make it right.

Questions

Cross-border questions we get every week

I already filed in one country. Can you handle just the other side?
Yes, and it is a common starting point. We review what was filed, make sure the second filing lines up with it, and flag anything on the first return that will cause a mismatch. If the two need to be coordinated differently, we tell you before we start.
Will I be taxed twice on the same income?
The Canada and United States tax treaty and the foreign tax credit rules exist to prevent that, and applying them correctly is most of the work on a cross-border file. We take the position that fits your facts and document it. What that means for your specific numbers is exactly what the consult establishes.
I have not filed the US side in years. What now?
Back-year filing is regular work here. We establish how many years are open, what needs to be prepared, and what it will cost, before you commit. What a tax authority does with a late filing is their call, not ours, so we will not promise you an outcome. We will tell you plainly what your options are.
Who reviews and signs my return?
A tax consultant reviews every return before filing, and returns are reviewed and signed off by a licensed practitioner of record. The full detail is on our credential disclosure page.
How fast will you actually reply?
Typical reply is under 15 minutes during business hours, and we commit to a same-business-day reply. Reach us outside business hours and your message is captured and picked up first thing. Nothing falls through.
My situation is complicated. How is my fee set?
The consult is where we scope your actual situation and confirm a fixed fee in writing. You will know the number before you agree to anything, not after.
20-minute consult, not billed
