If a Canadian citizen works in the United States, how should he report bilateral taxes?

Many of my friends are Canadian residents or citizens, but they work in the United States, so they have to report taxes in two countries when filing their taxes.

In the process of filing taxes on both sides, because some tax policies are not clear, people blindly operate based on guesswork and imagination. For example, if the focus of work and life is already in the United States and you are a U.S. tax resident, but you still file Canadian taxes as a Canadian tax resident, or some Canadian income is not reported in the United States, etc. Such problems can easily lead to unnecessary troubles. Not only will you be punished by the tax authorities of both countries, pay huge fines and interests, but you will also leave a bad tax record in both countries. So in today's video, I will use the story of Xiaokai and his mother as an example to talk about how Canadian citizens should file bilateral taxes between the two countries after going to work in the United States.
