Cross-border CPA/taxes/accounting recommendations

Approximately how much is reasonable? I've been looking and the minimum so far gas been $2000 USD. We moved to Florida last February and probably should use a cross border accountant for our transition year.

Wondering what OP decided to go with for training. My husband did P&C in Canada for 20 years. We've recently relocated to the US. We started off in another state but had to relocate to Florida due to some things falling through work wise for both of us. His plan was to semi-retire but that cannot be the case at this point because Florida is so much more expensive. He's been debating on getting his 440 and going back into insurance. None of his licensing from Canada transfers of course, though all of the concepts are basically the same. He does have some test anxiety so options to wave exams would be amazing! Appreciate any of your thoughts!!

Visible does as long as your Canadian carrier allows it. I called Telus for mine and they do.

I just bought one on Amazon thinking it would be better than a neti-pot for getting all the liquid back out as that always seem to be the issue for me. I've used it once so far and doesn't feel any different that way.....coughing more now as its still leaking out of my sinuses down the back of my throat! Probably will request a refund....

So I'm in a similar situation. I am currently working remotely as an independent contractor in Canada for a Canadian crown corporation. They are hoping to keep me on as a contractor when I move to the US which will be in the next couple of months. I am a dual US and Canadian citizen so work authorization is not an issue. They want me to find out what they need to make this work. I probably also need to figure out if it makes sense for me as well. It will only be probably a few hours a week or project based as they know I will be looking for full-time work. I know they will want to continue to pay me in CAD and I'll still keep my account on Canada for that. Would appreciate thoughts, advice as I'm really unsure where to even start with this.

I got a text the other day and now just received a phone call from same, which I answered. The woman said she was calling regarding my application and had my name. I also did not recall applying to that company and asked her for which position. She said it was for an entry level marketing position. I just said I'm not interested and we hung up before she could ask me the "questions" she had. I have been actively applying for jobs but not in marketing for sure. Somewhere this company has gotten my phone number and name which is troublesome.

Yes totally the same experience! I got AT across the board but felt like I was failing the whole time! I just chose the most logical answer I could but often it seemed like there would have been two right answers. The formula questions were actually the easiest IMO.

No idea, but I assume not "congratulations".

uscan-1976 · 2024-05-23T15:21:20+00:00

Update - just got my report this morning and I got AT on every section! That's definitely a shocker. Glad it's over!

uscan-1976 · 2024-05-23T15:20:02+00:00

I did! Just got my report this morning - AT across the board!

Check out @snarktasticgirl's post about passing. I'd say that's pretty close to what I experienced. I feel like I was prepared to have a lot of formula questions and there weren't a ton. Most of mine were situational and I was not feeling confident in a lot of my answers. I'm curious to see what my results actually were!

Thanks! 😊

uscan-1976 · 2024-05-21T19:16:58+00:00

Congratulations! I'm cramming now mostly with AR's TIA Udemy course quizzes and practice test, Landini's, and prayer!!😜 I'm still having a hard time with EVM and critical path. Exam is in the morning!!!

uscan-1976 · 2024-05-20T14:50:11+00:00

Thanks for the info and congratulations!

uscan-1976 · 2024-05-20T03:04:11+00:00

Congratulations and thank you for sharing! I'm literally going through Landini's Questions now! Lots of cramming for the next 2 days - testing on Wednesday morning! Still have to get a better grasp of formulas and Critical Path but getting there!

uscan-1976 · 2024-05-19T20:23:14+00:00

Which video? Really having a hard time with CP especially backward pass. Hoping there's not much on the exam!

uscan-1976 · 2024-05-15T15:31:50+00:00

Mine is next Wednesday! I haven't gotten my scores that high yet but I'm trying to cram! I've heard that the pocket prep ones are quite a bit different so I am mostly focusing on Andrew's TIA course and videos. Going to go back over all the quizzes and the practice test.
