Canadian - US tax treaty Tina.LoCasto 04-05-2007

I am a US citizen. I lived in Canada for a few years while
I worked in the US. Due to some issues with Canadian
Revenue I did not pay income taxes on my salary (I did pay
US taxes). When I was divorced we had to sell our house in
Canada. At that time the house sale was frozen until I gave
them all the information and filed taxes. I did this. the
sale and profits from the sale were released. A year later
I received a bill for $15K for back taxes. I had moved back
to the US and was told that there is no way that I can be
forced to pay these taxes. Now, 2 years later, I have a
letter from the IRS saying that I owe Canada. It says that
if I am a US citizen and can prove it, I may not owe the US
but I would still owe Canada. The question...can the US IRS
force me to pay the taxes to Canada? Or do I just continue
on my way and never enter into Canada again?

Thanks

I don't think that the IRS would have informed you that you
owe Canada money unless they expected you to pay and were
prepared to take action on Canada's behalf if you didn't.
