Trying to find out what needs to happen in this instance. I am hoping that maybe there is someone out there that knows the answer.

My daughter, who is a US citizen married to a Canadian and living in Canada would like to work in the US occasionally. I am sure this is possible but I cannot find anywhere what would need to be done. She is a legal landed immigrant in Canada and has been for many years.

Any help would be appreciated.

As US citizen she has the right to work in the US at will. She has been filing US taxes?

She has not worked in the US since she moved to Canada. I think she did file US taxes at a point when she inherited a US relative's 401K but I think that was the only reason.

Does she need any type of work permit?

She needs a work visa.

There are many different kinds. She needs to secure employment in the US first and then her employer will fill out the paperwork.

It's expensive.

Would this apply even though she is a US citizen?

oh yikes, sorry. My adult onset ADHD set in and I missed that part.

As long as she is a US citizen she can work in the US.

Yupp, most members gave you the right answer. As a US citizen she can come and go as she pleases. And of course, work as well

there shouldn't be any issues considering this is her country of citizenship.
