Taxation for Resident Alien (arrived with K3)

Post Mon Mar 22, 2010 7:35 am

Im sooo ready to throw in the towel. But I want to know if someone can help me with my taxes from here before I do.

For the year of 2009, I entered US with a K3 spouse visa on April 24, 2009. I didn't receive my green card until this month. I already determined that Im eligible to be considered a resident for tax purposes. My husband is a US citizen and he has already filed his taxes Married Filing Separately (he did not want to wait to get my taxes filed as no one in our town want to touch my taxes)

I am a Canadian citizen and I received canadian income up until April 2009 before I moved to US. So i am ready to file that (i havent sent it yet since I don't have a clear idea how its connected to US taxes). I also collected Canadian EI from August 2009 to present. and EI has already taken 25% non resident tax which I didn't include in my Canada Tax return.

I have 3 W2 and my US income totals to $6,055USD. I'm using 1040A for my W2's and file Form 1116 for my Canadian Employment Insurance. I just dont have a clear idea if I include the EI amount with my W2 amount on Form 1040A. And I don't also know if I include my 2009 canadian income earned before I moved to US on Form 2555 & 1116 or report it to IRS or exclude and use form 2555 since I didn't live in US when I earned the income .... very confused here.
