This just was brought to our attention, and my first reaction was that ICAO explicitly has stated, as aircrew flying Internationally, we are exempt from reporting tax returns, as the worldwide implications would be absurd. This is coming from our tax advisors( a very well known reputable International organization).
Has anyone heard of this, and/or complying with such? I really do not want to set a precedent with the IRS, and have my file at their disposable to cause me a lifetime of grief!
Sure appreciate any valued feedback!

question of the day is this. Are your ties still to Canada, are you still paying taxes in Canada. Are you flying a Canadian reg Aircraft in the USA. If you don't have a work visa for the USA and don't have homestead but still live in Canada no taxes need to be filed with the IRS
