Greetings all ~ I am in need of information and assistance and hopeful I am at the right place! Heres the deal; I am married in US - filed exit return last year in Canada, but this year (2011) I collected EI from Canada - So do I have to file a return with Canada? Would I file married or single...any advantage/disadvantage? Also when my husband and I file here in the US (He is retired) then can I file for an an exemption from my Ei income from Canada?

Thanks all - Never would have made it this far without folks here!

Collecting EI means you have to file in Canada as well as put the EI listed on the US returns. You need to keep filing Canadian tax as long as you keep collecting EI. You can file an exemption for the EI since it is already taxed in Canada.

What a coincidence - I was just about to ask the very same question, thanks Inky!
