Cross Border Taxation for Canadian

[Jamal Harb]

I am a Canadian investing in the US and the time has come to do the taxes. I have researched intensively the ins and outs of US taxation by reading and speaking to accountants. Filing can be accomplished in one of two ways; hire a cross border accountant to do both countries, OR, hire an American to do the US and a Canadian to do the Canadian taxes.

Any one has experience in this that can comment on the pros and cons of each approach? I find the cross border accountants to be very very expensive and wonder if its worth the extra cost.

Thanks,
