Looking for some tax advice...

[chief444]

I'm in a bit of a unique situation. I'm moving to Canada from the US in a couple of months. My taxes are a pain to start with with rental property and a few other minor things. But now I'll be adding in gambling income and living abroad into the mix. I've spoken already with a couple of accountants locally (here in PA) on the matter and they're pretty useless when it comes to the living abroad issue.

So I guess what I'm asking is if anyone has been in a similar situation and if so how much difficulty can I expect? Any recommendations? Should I just pay two seperate accountants (one US and one in Canada) to handle both returns?

Also, my plan for the gambling income (which is basically all online) is just to print out monthly session details as support and basically use the PT info as backup (if necessary). Is this typical. Anything else I should be doing?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
