What We Do

🇺🇸 US Tax Advice and Planning in Downtown Toronto – Toronto Tax Consulting

Our US Tax Advice and Planning in Downtown Toronto service delivers comprehensive, strategic, and compliant solutions for individuals, corporations, trusts, and estates with U.S. tax exposure. We don’t just prepare returns—we structure your financial affairs to minimize taxes, avoid double taxation, and protect you from IRS penalties.

Below is a detailed breakdown of what we do, with real-world examples from our 25 years of practice:

1. Personal U.S. Tax Returns (Form 1040, 1040NR)

We prepare and file U.S. tax returns for:

  • U.S. citizens living in Canada who must report worldwide income to the IRS.
  • Green Card holders who maintain U.S. residency for tax purposes.
  • Non-residents earning U.S. income (e.g., rental property, dividends, royalties).

Example: A dual U.S.–Canada citizen living in Downtown Toronto had unreported U.S. pension income for three years. We filed amended 1040 returns, claimed treaty benefits, and avoided over $60,000 in IRS penalties.

2. Corporate U.S. Filings (Forms 1120, 5471, 8858)

We handle corporate compliance for Canadian-controlled private corporations (CCPCs) with U.S. subsidiaries, branches, or permanent establishments. This includes:

  • U.S. corporate income tax returns (Form 1120).
  • Foreign corporation reporting (Form 5471).
  • Foreign disregarded entity reporting (Form 8858).

Example: A Toronto-based tech company expanded into the U.S. market. We structured their U.S. operations to reduce their effective tax rate from 34% to 21% while ensuring full IRS compliance under the TCJA rules.

3. IRS Offshore Disclosure Programs

For clients with unreported foreign accounts, we guide them through:

  • Streamlined Offshore Filing for non-willful non-compliance.
  • Voluntary Disclosure for willful non-compliance.
  • FBAR (FinCEN 114) and FATCA (Form 8938) filings.

Example: A Canadian resident with U.S. citizenship had $1.2M in foreign accounts not reported to the IRS. We completed a Streamlined Offshore Filing, eliminated criminal exposure, and reduced penalties from $300,000 to zero.

4. Cross-Border Real Estate Tax Planning

We provide tax structuring for U.S. and Canadian property ownership, sales, and rentals, including:

  • FIRPTA compliance for U.S. property sales.
  • Section 216 returns for Canadian non-resident property owners.
  • State-level real estate tax optimization.

Example: A Toronto investor sold a Miami condo for $1.1M. We reduced FIRPTA withholding from 15% to 6% by filing Form 8288-B, resulting in $99,000 immediate tax savings.

5. Estate and Gift Tax Compliance

We assist with U.S. estate and gift tax planning for:

  • Cross-border inheritances involving U.S. assets.
  • U.S. citizens gifting to non-U.S. family members.
  • Canadians inheriting U.S. real estate or securities.

Example: A Canadian estate included U.S. shares valued at $2.5M. We applied the U.S.–Canada Tax Treaty estate provisions, reducing U.S. estate tax liability by over $400,000.

6. Treaty-Based Residency and Tax Optimization

We apply tax treaty provisions to:

  • Determine residency status under the U.S.–Canada Tax Treaty.
  • Allocate taxing rights between countries.
  • Claim treaty-based exemptions for specific income types.

Example: A Canadian executive temporarily working in New York qualified for treaty relief under the 183-day rule, avoiding $28,000 in unnecessary U.S. tax.

How Our Services Work in Detail

🇺🇸 US Tax Advice and Planning in Downtown Toronto – Toronto Tax Consulting

Our US Tax Advice and Planning in Downtown Toronto process is designed to be thorough, transparent, and results-driven. Every step is handled by senior cross-border tax specialists to ensure your affairs are 100% compliant with the IRS, CRA, and international tax treaty obligations.

1. Initial Consultation – Understanding Your Tax Profile

We start with a confidential, in-person or virtual consultation at one of our four Downtown Toronto offices. Here, we:

  • Review your citizenship, residency status, and cross-border connections.
  • Gather details on income sources, investments, and real estate holdings in both Canada and the U.S.
  • Identify immediate red flags such as missed IRS filings, unreported accounts, or residency misclassification.

Example: A U.S. citizen living in Toronto came to us unsure if they needed to file U.S. returns. Within one meeting, we confirmed filing requirements, outlined treaty options, and avoided potential IRS penalties exceeding $40,000.

2. Risk & Compliance Review – Identifying Issues Before the IRS Does

We conduct a deep-dive compliance check to ensure you meet all IRS requirements:

  • Verify FBAR (FinCEN 114) and FATCA (Form 8938) compliance.
  • Check for missed U.S. forms (e.g., 3520, 5471, 8858, 8621) that could trigger $10,000+ penalties per form.
  • Assess double taxation risks and evaluate treaty-based exemptions.

Example: A Canadian corporation with a U.S. subsidiary failed to file Form 5471 for three years. We filed retroactive forms with a reasonable cause statement, preventing over $90,000 in penalties.

3. Strategic Plan Creation – Tailored Cross-Border Tax Strategy

We design a customized tax plan that balances Canadian and U.S. obligations, ensuring:

  • Minimized tax liability through credits, exclusions, and treaty provisions.
  • Proper entity structuring for corporate and real estate holdings.
  • Estate and gift tax planning to protect cross-border assets.

Example: We restructured a Toronto family business with U.S. operations into a hybrid corporate/trust structure, cutting their combined Canada–U.S. tax rate from 42% to 23%.

4. Implementation – Putting the Plan Into Action

We handle all filings, registrations, and legal steps to bring your tax affairs into compliance:

  • Prepare and file IRS and CRA forms.
  • Structure corporations, trusts, and holding companies.
  • Submit treaty-based residency claims and exemptions.

Example: A client selling a Florida rental property avoided 15% FIRPTA withholding by filing Form 8288-B before closing, unlocking $75,000 in immediate cash flow.

5. Ongoing Monitoring – Staying Ahead of Tax Law Changes

U.S. and Canadian tax laws are constantly evolving. We provide ongoing reviews to:

  • Adjust your strategy as legislation changes (e.g., TCJA reforms, treaty amendments).
  • Ensure continued compliance with annual IRS and CRA requirements.
  • Proactively identify opportunities for additional savings.

Example: When the IRS expanded its audit focus on cryptocurrency, we updated client filings to include proper virtual asset disclosures, avoiding potential $50,000+ penalties.
