Good afternoon!
I'm in a rather unique situation.
I am a Canadian PR of 2 years and also a US PR since September, never lived or worked in the US (thanks to the Diversity lottery; I just landed there).
I am also married but in the process of divorce. I think the divorce certificate will be ready by April.
All of my (low) income has been yielded here in Canada. I am filing taxes here, I am taxed automatically like all Canadian payroll workers.
So, questions:
1. What form do I use to file my taxes (all income in Canada, married filing separately)? What is the best software to make a declaration? Is it possible to file electronically?
2. Will there be double taxation for me?
3. Will I be better off filing as single (should the divorce be finalized before the deadline) or married but filing separately?
