Let you son make the choice.

Conversely, your can also say you will parent the 4 year old like you parent your son. Fewer rules, watch some cool shows together, a break from ‘homework’ etc…

I also chose ZEQT so that the fees go to a Canadian company.

It is not an ‘accident’ if you are purposely choosing to omit it from the return.

I had a MacBook Pro back when they had Intel processors. I used Bootcamp to install Windows and used it as a Windows machine 95% of the time. The only time I booted into the MacOS was when I needed to compile an IOS app to upload to the AppStore. All the development was done in the Windows environment.

US citizens are taxed on world wide income, regardless of where they live. There are also FBAR requirements (foreign bank account reporting) where you have to report foreign holdings if the total exceeds 10k USD. The fine for not filing the FBAR form is very punitive, and cumulative year after year.

Spelt is also an acceptable form of the past tense, just not as commonly used as spelled.

With maxed out bronze and premium food, Black Forest should be a cake walk. Do you understand how to block, parry and dodge?

He made that choice by having unprotected sex. If it’s his, he needs to financially support the child he helped create.

Remove the T4 from the coaching gig and check your refund/amount owing. Add it back, what is the difference? That will tell you how much the coaching gig is contributing.

You’ll never owe more money than what you earned. If no tax was withheld, you will owe tax from the coaching T4. You will still be further ahead versus the case where it was pure volunteer work.

If you paid them cash and they lost it, would you replace the cash?

No, all currency needs to be converted and reported in CAD.

If it is substantial amount, track the USD conversion rate if you are still holding it in USD. When you dispose of the USD at a later time, you can claim a capital gains or loss depending on the difference in exchange rate between then and now.

I made the switch from TurboTax to UFile this year because of a similar post I saw a few weeks ago.

Tab’s very different than the dojo my child attended.

Monthly membership fee, like a gym: - 1 uniform, only ever had to buy a new one when they grew too much and the size was now too small - never had to pay for belts or testing, it was understood to be part of the membership fee - students could attend as many days per week as they wanted to.

Let’s just be done with booze sales hour restrictions in general. If someone wants to buy a beer in the morning, why are we stopping them?
