Hi Allan, I am a Canadian citizen resident in the US. I filed a departure return long ago so I'm clear on that.
Last year I did some work for a Canadian company who issued me a T4. I know that I need to file a tax return for the Canadian-sourced income, but the Nr4 seems to be for rentals only. What tax form should I file, and if its a T1 does that mean I get the basic personal amount as well? Thanks
Hi Byron,
File form 5013-R Income Tax and Benefit Return for Non-Residents and Deemed Residents of Canada. In addition to this, complete form 5013-SA Schedule A - Statement of World Income (for non-residents and deemed residents of Canada). If more than 90% of your global income is from Canadian sources, you will be eligible for the basic personal amount (tax credit).
