How to report in US and Canada, as I have to do both?

ramiller: I don't recommend H & R Block at all! Make major errors and some are just retired DOD workers. They are a joke! Best to go with a qualified CPA or an estate attorney.

I handled family affairs across multiple states and the accounting was complicated. Though my Attorney is also a CPA, I required an accountant, the dual licensure gave him additional knowledge but only one area of expertise. You need an accountant as stated by previous post, but you may not find one with enough experience with both countries. I have accountants in both states, as laws regarding each state are different and you also have the ruling factor of course of federal income tax laws. Thank God the your home state of FL doesn't have state tax as well. Mine do and it's just an incredible amount of additional work.

Agree, u need a CPA. Certified public accountant.

You don't need a lawyer. You can see a tax accountant they will help you. I worked at H&R Block for many years and know they have many great tax preparers. If you call ask to see a rep that is an enrolled agent and does Canadian returns, not everyone does Canadian returns. Hope this helps.
