Is there any disaster relief for Canadians who own property and pay taxes in the United States. FEMA is for U.S. citizens only, I believe…

My husband and I recently sold our condo in Florida. We know that we have to file a capital gains return with the IRS in 2025. How do we go about doing this?

We have owned a condo in the U.S. for a number of years and typically never spend longer than three to four months in a year in the U.S. I’ve just become aware of the form 8840 and, in 2024, we will have spent 157 days in the U.S.

My spouse is retired and was a lineman for a New Brunswick company for hurricanes or tropical storms. He went to work in the United States for Hurricane Helene and is currently in Florida for Hurricane Milton.

We have a rental property in Arizona and file a U.S. tax return each year. In Canada, we have registered (TFSA & RRSP) and non-registered investments in securities, which include U.S.-based companies.

Can I transport my friend’s hunting rifle from North Carolina to New York? I have no gun licences or permits.

This summer, we spent 16 days in the states. Then we were back in Canada for 16 days. Following this, we were back in the states for another 14 days. We actually were on U.S. soil for only 30 days.

Why can’t we Canadian snowbirds be treated with greater acknowledgement of the impact that we have on the American economy? Instead, we are restricted to 183 days.

If we are in the U.S., does a 33-day stay in Thailand (flying out of LAX) come off of our 183 days allowed?

Thank you very much to the book reviewer (I don’t have his name in front of me) who recommended the Kelly Armstrong Rip Through Time series…
