Thanks for everyones replies. To answer 510orbust's question, I am a full time resident of Canada, fly a Canadian registered a/c, I do not possess a work permit or visa to work in the US and I file and pay Canadian taxes. I have chosen to ignore the advise of this tax firm, and today received notice that I am in violation, will have missed the tax return deadline of April 15 and am in jeopardy of "the wrath of Uncle Sam". The contention that nowhere in any of my inquiries have I seen similar precedence to this interpretation seems to fall on deaf ears.

Who's sent you the notice of violation, Revenue Canada, or the IRS? If you've never filed with the IRS how would they know where to send the notice to?

Who sent you the notice? If the accounting agency, I smell somebody trying to drum up fees. It almost sounds like the scammers telling you to send a gift card to pay outstanding taxes.

If so, reply with the quote from Article XV that +TSRA has posted.

Are you able to post an image of the notice. I'd really like to see it.
