What Is the Process for Filing Both My US and Canada Expat Tax Returns? Will I Have to Upload Everything Twice?

No, you won’t need to upload your documents twice.

Greenback specializes in preparing US expat tax returns. We work closely with a trusted Canadian tax partner to help clients living in Canada file their US and Canadian tax returns efficiently and accurately.

Here’s How the Process Works:

  • Single Upload: You’ll upload your documents once through your secure Greenback Tax Companion portal. From there, we securely share any required files with our Canadian partner. There will be no duplicate uploads or extra admin on your end.
  • Collaborative Service: Your Greenback accountant and our Canadian partner work together behind the scenes to prepare your returns. This integrated approach helps you:
    • Avoid double taxation
    • Maximize cross-border tax credits and deductions
    • Stay fully compliant with both IRS and CRA requirements
  • Streamlined Filing: Our goal is to make dual filing as simple and stress-free as possible, whether you’re filing as an employee, small business owner, or investor abroad.

Whether you need both US and Canadian tax returns or only one of the two, we’re here to guide you through the process.
