Province × state guides

Detailed tax guides for every province and US state combination — factual errors fixed, local insights added.

One ledger, whichever province and whichever state

BorderBird keeps the Canadian side (T776 categories, NR4 slip data, Part XIII withholding) and the US side (line-mapped Schedule E) in one dual-currency ledger. The wider cross-border picture is what these guides are for — BorderBird prepares the data, it doesn't file the returns.
