This can create problems for U.S. expats because&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/filing\/status\/expat-us-state-income-taxes\/\">Americans <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hrbcomlnp.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/filing\/the-u-s-expats-guide-to-state-taxes-while-living-abroad\/\">f<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/filing\/status\/expat-us-state-income-taxes\/\">ile U.S. income taxes<\/a>&nbsp;even if they aren\u2019t living in the U.S. at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason for this is that the U.S. is one of the few countries in the world that imposes taxes based on citizenship, not place of residence. In Canada, your Canadian tax obligation is based on residency status which is determined by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The U.S. policy leaves some Americans responsible for taxes in two countries \u2014 once in the U.S. and once in their country of residence. One of the purposes of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/filing\/how-u-s-tax-treaties-help-taxpayers\/\">tax treaties<\/a>\u00a0is to solve this double taxation issue, and the United States treaty with Canada is no different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. does have certain tools like the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/income\/foreign-earned-income-exclusion-for-u-s-expats\/\">Foreign Earned Income Exclusion<\/a>\u00a0(FEIE) and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/filing\/foreign-tax-credit-limitations-rules-for-u-s-expats\/\">Foreign Tax Credit<\/a>\u00a0(FTC) that help alleviate the double taxation issue, but there were still some sticky situations \u2014 U.S. citizens with Canadian pensions and tax\u2013free retirement accounts, for example, ran into trouble when it came to U.S. taxation of those accounts. The U.S.\/Canada tax treaty addresses those concerns and directs how those situations and individuals should be taxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among other things, it also addresses cross-country\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/tax-law-and-policy\/fbar-vs-fatca-filing-requirements-for-americans-abroad\/\">expat financial reporting<\/a>, to ensure transparency between Canadian financial institutions and the U.S.\u2014<strong>\u00a0so if you\u2019re behind on U.S.\/Canada financial reporting like your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/forms\/the-fbar-when-and-how-to-report-money-in-foreign-bank-accounts\/\">FBAR<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/tax-law-and-policy\/what-is-fatca\/\">FATCA<\/a>\u00a0filing requirements, you should\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/filing\/catching-up-what-you-need-to-know-about-streamlined-filing-compliance-procedures-and-delinquent-fbar-penalties\/\">get caught up with Streamlined Filing<\/a>\u00a0as soon as you can.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/expat-tax-preparation-and-services\/streamlined\/\">Get started on Streamlined Expat Tax Filing now<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-saving-clause\">Saving Clause<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most U.S. tax treaties have what\u2019s known as a saving clause. The saving clause essentially states that a country may tax its citizens as if the treaty never existed. As a result, it renders most provisions of the treaty ineffective for Americans living in Canada, but leaves them open for Canadian citizens living in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one reason you should get familiar with the FTC \u2014 so that if you need to, you can claim it against Canadian taxes paid. The FTC can be claimed in some instances only because of the exceptions to the saving clause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-u-s-taxation-on-canadian-retirement-plans\">U.S. taxation on Canadian retirement plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One question we hear on a regular basis from American citizens living in Canada is, \u201cHow are Canadian retirement plans taxed in the U.S.?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re a U.S. citizen and you receive benefits from a Canadian Pension Plan and the Old Age Security Plan, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will treat those benefits the same as U.S. social security payments for tax purposes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/expat-tax-preparation-and-services\/\">Get started on your expat taxes now<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-claim-u-s-canada-income-tax-treaty-benefits\">How to claim U.S.\/Canada income tax treaty benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The vast majority of tax benefits you get from the U.S.\/Canada tax treaty don\u2019t have to be claimed.<\/strong>\u00a0If you found yourself in one of those rare, complicated situations that a specific article alleviates, you\u2019d file\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/forms\/form-8833-how-to-claim-tax-treaty-benefits-with-the-treaty-based-return-position-disclosure-under-section-6114-or-7701b\/\">Form 8833<\/a>\u00a0with your tax return and include your situation in the summary.\u00a0<strong>Before you run out and file Form 8833, talk to an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/expat.hrblock.com\/s\/login\/SelfRegister\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Expat Tax Advisor<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-get-help-with-claiming-canada-u-s-tax-treaty-benefits-or-filing-u-s-taxes-from-canada\">Get help with claiming Canada\/U.S. tax treaty benefits or filing U.S. taxes from Canada<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re an American who has recently relocated to Vancouver or are a full\u2013on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/country\/canada\/u-s-canada-dual-citizenship-taxes-5-things-you-should-know\/\">U.S.\/Canada dual citizen<\/a>&nbsp;who\u2019s lived in Toronto for decades, we\u2019ve got the tax solutions for you.
