In addition to where we winter, we also have a U.S. rental property and have been filing 8840 and 1040-NR each year. The CPA charges $300 to file just the two 8840s….

Having just returned from six months in the U.S., I undertook to, once again, fill in Form 8840. This year, I note that the I.R.S. is seeking, in question #13, whether or not I filed tax returns for 2019..
