Do you handle Canadian tax returns too?

Yes, Zenith Financial prepares Canadian tax returns for US-Canada cross-border filers. This is one of our core specialties, as US-Canada cross-border taxation is the most common international tax corridor we serve.

For US citizens and green card holders living in Canada, we prepare both your US federal return and your Canadian T1 personal tax return. This dual-country preparation ensures that the returns are coordinated — credits, exclusions, and treaty positions are properly applied across both filings to minimize your total combined tax burden.

For Canadians who have moved to the US, we can assist with departure returns, ongoing US tax preparation, and coordination of any remaining Canadian filing obligations such as rental property reporting or the sale of Canadian assets.

Our cross-border expertise covers all the unique US-Canada issues, including: RRSP, RRIF, and TFSA treatment for US tax purposes; principal residence exemption coordination between countries; Canadian departure tax and deemed disposition; FBAR and FATCA reporting of Canadian accounts; Totalization Agreement and CPP/QPP coordination; treaty benefits for pensions, Social Security, and investment income; and PFIC implications for Canadian mutual funds held by US persons.

We use professional Canadian tax preparation software and maintain current knowledge of both Canadian and US tax law changes. Our team includes preparers with experience in both jurisdictions, ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks between the two systems.

Pricing for combined US-Canada preparation reflects the dual-country work involved. We offer a bundled rate that is typically more cost-effective than engaging separate preparers in each country, with the added benefit of having a single team that coordinates everything.

For other countries, we focus on the US side but can coordinate with trusted local tax professionals in your country of residence when needed.
