Canadian Resident Filing US Tax Return-What forms do I need?

I am a US Citizen with a Permanent Resident Status in Canada. I filed my Canadian taxes, however I need to file my US Tax Returns for 2010 & 2011.

What forms do I need?

I have been working with a Canadian Employer and have the T4s.

I also had some self employed income <$10,000 in 2010 & 2011.

Please guide me through. I usually file Canadian Tax Returns on my own. My income for 2010 & 2011 from the T4's have been less than 25k for the year.

Thanks,

    It depends on a lot more than just your income..

    - you'll still start with the basic 1040 and schedules to report your income (i.e. Schedule C for your self-employed income)

    - form 2555 to exclude your foreign earned income (so you likely aren't paying US tax)

    - form 8891 if you have RRSP's

    - form 8833 if you're taking a treaty position

    - etc, etc, it can get complicated

    Plus hopefully you've already filed your FBAR? (form 90.22-1)
