What does this do?
This bill would raise the allowed U.S. stay for qualifying Canadian visitors from 182 days to 240 days out of every 365-day period. They could not work for a U.S. employer, but could do remote work for a Canadian employer they already had. They would also be treated as non-residents for U.S. tax purposes.
Who does it affect?
Canadian citizens who are at least 50 years old could qualify, along with their spouses. To be eligible, they would need to keep a home in Canada, have a place to stay in the U.S., and not collect U.S. federal public benefits.
Why does it matter?
Extending the allowed stay changes how long Canadian retirees can be present in the U.S. before they must return home. Treating them as tax non-residents means they would not be taxed on their income the way a U.S. resident would be.
