Default Re: Snowflake not Snowbird

We be snowbirds because the U.S. Government will only allow those of us from the U.K. and Canada to stay in the USA 183 days out of 365 (even those of us who own houses here). :dontknow: So we must maintain residences in other countries.

We will not rent in the USA as that would put us into an "income earning" position and we would need to report earnings to the IRS. This could impact us financially in many ways, including double taxation.

I love TV so much! ;D I hate that I have to leave. But six months is better than nothing. So ... I must leave here in April and return to Canada.

Sad little Snowbird >
