Investments after H1B expiration

[kn_kishore]

Hello!

Background:

I currently am a legal resident alien of the US on a H1B visa. My H1B visa expires April, 2012. Past April, 2012, I will be working in Toronto, Canada on a work visa.

Issue:

I have the following question - can I continue to hold my investments in stocks and options in the USA beyond April, 2012, and file taxes on them or am I required to have a resident status in order to do that? If so, for tax purposes, can I use my brother's address for receiving the 1099's past April, 2012?

Thanks,

Sincerely,

Kishore

You can of course hold investments even if you are not in the US.

If you are not in the US, there would be a flat tax, if I remember right. But check with a good CPA.
