Canadian EI and the IRS

[dutchmatt 1]

Hi,

I know as a LPR of the US I have to report all worldwide income on my IRS Tax return. Money was skimmed of of each check by the Canadian Government so I assume the I have paid all taxes due north of the border. My question is will I get taxed again by the US or am I simply reporting this income to the IRS.

Any guidance would be great!

You take the 25% non-resident tax as a foreign tax credit using Form 1116.
