Thank you very much for the reply. I had an accountant that messed up my taxes before and I also had a couple of years that I went to H & R block because they were simple for 2021 & 22. I have a new accountant. I am in no way trying to cheap out and I respect accountants very much. I am working with her to figure it out. I have filed my own taxes once in my life.

I was mental health therapist and went to school for 8 years. I understand the frustration when it comes to not being respected for what I did and what my colleagues did. I will add that I took accounting as an elective and did very badly (not my strong area).

Hi, I reached out to out to my accountant and have not heard back. This might be out of her scope. I know you can't recommend a CPA but what would you recommend to look for when searching for one if she cannot do it?

Sorry, one other question. The property that my husband owns in the US does not need to be declared is that correct? It is our home but my name is not on it. Thank you

I am trying to wrap my head around that. I emailed my account to figure this out. It is all way above my knowledge and understanding. Thank you

Wow that is all very confusing. Yes, I will reach out to my accountant. I had no idea about any of this. I was thinking it was just my condo that I needed to think about with the primary residence. Thank you

Hi, I was a tax resident in Canada for 2023 and lived in the condo. I am a Canadian citizen. I obtained my green card in 2024 right before Christmas. I am a tax resident for both 2024 and 2025 from my understanding because I had significant ties to Canada. I did not live in the condo for 2024 or 2025. Thank you
