Babak

My client owns a business in Canada and filed canadian business taxes for it with 50,000 in loss. Can I claim that loss in his US personal taxes? and if yes, where should I enter the number? 

Thanks

Is the business a corporation in Canada?

The more I know, the more I don't know.

Then no loss goes on your client's personal return, same as if this was a US Corporation.

But, client probably needs to file 5471, FBAR and maybe 8938.
