Expat US Tax

26/10/2026

Express Entry is often one of the fastest ways to immigrate to Canada permanently if you qualify, have a competitive profile, and receive an invitation to apply. For Americans who want to start working in Canada sooner, a temporary work permit may be a more immediate option. Eligible US citizens may qualify under the Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), while some young Americans may be able to use International Experience Canada through a recognized organization.

But arriving quickly and becoming a permanent resident quickly are not always the same thing.

A W-9 Form in Canada is used by US persons, including US citizens, Green Card holders, and other individuals treated as US taxpayers, to provide their correct US Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) to a requester. Living in Canada does not change your obligation to complete Form W-9 when it is required.

A move to a new country. A foreign business. An inheritance, a rental property, or a few years of returns that never got filed. US tax rules don’t treat any two of these the same way, and a situation that looks simple on paper often isn’t.

That’s what a consultation is for. You sit down with a team that works with US expats every day, walk through your circumstances, and come away with a clearer picture of what applies to you and what to do about it.

If you missed the US tax deadline, file your overdue return as soon as possible, even if you cannot pay what you owe. Penalties may apply, although some taxpayers qualify for relief.

Americans abroad should check whether they qualify for an automatic filing extension. If you have several years of unfiled returns or missed foreign reporting obligations, review the applicable IRS compliance procedures before submitting them.

Many US expats assume every Australian super fund is treated the same, but that’s not always the case. While most traditional Australian retail super funds generally don’t raise PFIC concerns, self-managed super funds (SMSFs) and certain foreign retirement plans may require a closer review.

The answer comes down to how your super is set up, and the difference between two funds can be bigger than most people expect.

US tax rules don’t come with a manual, and the answers you find online rarely fit your exact situation. A foreign account here, a pension there, a move mid-year, and suddenly it’s hard to know what applies to you.

A consultation with our team is a chance to sit down with someone who works with US expats every day. Bring your questions, talk through your situation, and leave knowing what your next steps are, instead of piecing it together from forums and guesswork.

US expats with foreign rental property must file Form 8858 when the rental activity is treated as a Foreign Branch or conducted through a Foreign Disregarded Entity (FDE). This requirement can apply even when the property is owned directly in the taxpayer’s name.

So how do you know if your rental falls into this category? It comes down to how the activity is set up, and the definitions aren’t what most people expect.

IRS Form 8858 is essentially a tool used to gather data on Foreign Disregarded Entities (FDEs) and certain Foreign Branches (FBs).
