Windsor Tax Filing — Starting at $99

Canadian residents who commute to work in the US must report their US wages as foreign income on their Canadian T1 return. You can claim a foreign tax credit for US federal and state taxes paid to avoid double taxation. This is a complex cross-border situation — we handle it regularly for Windsor-Detroit commuters.

Ontario credits like the Trillium Benefit are based on Canadian income and residency, not where you work. As an Ontario resident, you generally qualify for all provincial credits regardless of where your employment income is earned, subject to income thresholds.

US W-2 income must be converted to Canadian dollars at the Bank of Canada exchange rate and reported on your T1 as foreign employment income. We apply the appropriate foreign tax credit to offset the US taxes withheld, and file your Ontario T1 correctly. We may recommend consulting a cross-border specialist for complex situations.
