According to the IRS, nearly 750,000 stimulus cheques have gone out to ‘foreign addresses,’ totalling $1.2 billion

OTTAWA — Thousands of people in Canada can expect a letter shortly from the U.S. Treasury Department.

“The reason being that the U.S. is one of only two countries in the world that tax based on citizenship. So a U.S. citizen, wherever they live in the world, is always subject to U.S. tax, which is different than Canada,” said Mark Feigenbaum, an Ontario-based attorney and accountant specialized in cross-border taxes.

One of them is Charles Lewis, a dual U.S. and Canadian citizen who received a cheque in the mail last week. “The domestic numbers likely also include resident aliens, and Canadians are likely in both the domestic and foreign categories,” Smith said.

so what did AndrewScheer do with his? put it towards his kids private school? or is the party membership still footing the bill for that?

That's why scheer isn't revoking his us citizenship gotta mooch off two governments at the same time 😂

Just curious, is AndrewScheer and wife getting the $1200 paychecks?

Good for them.

Good for them! Dual Citizenship has its advantages I suppose. Although I'd need a shower after cashing it with Trumps name on it.

Nice.

Wait until the scams are uncovered here in Canada.

As I have said before, the US universal benefit is better than the CERB as it reaches all citizens. They can also apply for unemployment.

It’s called dual citizenship. They also need to fill in their income tax with IRS every year. Is that news for you?

Did Scheer get one?

Thousands of non-Canadians getting CA$2,000 cheques simply because JustinTrudeau lets them apply for CERB.

And 000’s of Indian’s, Iraqi’s, and Chinese citizens are getting CERB.
