Taxation of Americans in Canada: Are you at risk? (Cross-Border Series)

Living in Canada and not paying as much in taxes is a privilege that many Americans enjoy -- or is it?  Legally, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can collect taxes from US citizens, no matter where in the world they may reside.  Even dual citizens or those who have lived in Canada for many years are subject to some IRS rules, some Canada Revenue Agency rules, as well as the Canada-US Tax Treaty.  The IRS has been cracking down and collecting taxes from its citizens who live in foreign countries and US residents with foreign assets.  The authors understand the fear and confusion that Americans may experience when confronted by the Internal Revenue Service and the Canada Revenue Agency.  In this book, Taxation of Americans in Canada, the authors seek to calm those fears so that you can be knowledgeable and proactive about your tax situation.
