The American tax deadline is April 15th, whereas the Canadian tax deadline is April 30th for individuals.

 

Please keep in mind that both these tax returns are filed on separate websites, one is Canadian (.ca) and the other is American (.com), when you are doing your taxes make sure you are on the right site to avoid confusion.

 

Can i use Turbo Tax, assuming I need to fill in USA and Canada separately, and there isnt a joint version?

 

Yes, you can use TurboTax to file your Canadian and American return but it will be different software. And yes you will need to file both returns separately.

 

Do I need to declare my US salary in Canada and vice versa?

 

Yes, you will need to advise the IRS, as well as the CRA of your salary as well as your foreign income. Please review the links below to assist you further with what you need to declare.

Please keep in mind, you will have to contact our US counterparts for what needs to be declared as foreign income on the American tax return.

So I would advise that you get them both done but make sure your US return is completed and ready to be filed by April 15th.
