US Taxes in Canada

June 25, 2013 10:33 AM

I need to file an amendment to my 2009 US federal and state taxes - I lived in the US (California specifically) half of the 2009 year and the rest of the year in Canada (GTA). I think this will be very simple (nothing but paycheck income to claim, no assets like trusts, property, stock, etc), but I am overwhelmed with the choices of accountants and tax people here, even the ones who specialize in cross border taxes. Can anyone recommend a decent tax person who could help with this? Preferrably someone near Etobicoke, although Mississauga/Oakville fine too. I've had numerous people warn me against the nearest chain type tax place, so I'm looking for someone independent or a small accounting type firm.

I've worked with one of the accountants in the Kitchener office at Dube & Cuttini, who also have offices in Missisauga. I wasn't doing international work, but according to their 'about us' page, they focus on both Canadian and US taxes.

Very helpful, but clearly no money has been wasted on the website.
