This is a weird question, have a client that now is telling me she is a Canadian Citizen , but resided in NYS and worked here for a few years. But this year she took her little son and left NYS and went back to Canada in August.  She wants to file her Federal return and NYS return and claim just the income from USA to get the EIC.   I am getting confused on how to handle this situation.  She said she had a NYS license but now does not.  She never told me in the past that she is a Canadian Citizen.  Tell me how to handle this... I know what she is after .. only claiming the low income in USA for the EIC$$.. and not accounting for the balance of the years income from Canada. I appreciate all the help in advance with this situation.
