Hello, I left Canada on 29th June 2021 and need to file a tax return. How can I do that? I don't have a Canadian number anymore and agents seem to be able to call Canadian or US numbers only.

 

Thank you

    1. TurboTax Canada can only be bought online if you have a Canadian credit card.
    2. If you are under the age of 25 filing your return with us is free.
    3. Depending on your tax situation and if you can use the free version, then you will be able to use the software.

     

    As per the Canada Revenue Agency Which income tax package should you use?

    The type of Canadian income you receive during the tax year determines which income tax package you should use.

    If you receive only income from employment or business use the income tax package for the province or territory where you earn the income along with Guide T4058, Non-Residents and Income Tax. However, if you also receive other types of income (capital gains and/or taxable scholarships, fellowships, bursaries, or research grants), you will also need Form T2203, Provincial and Territorial Taxes for Multiple Jurisdictions.

    If you receive only other types of taxable Canadian-source income (such as scholarships, fellowships, bursaries, or research grants, capital gains, or from a business with no permanent establishment in Canada), use the Income Tax and Benefit Package for Non-Residents and Deemed Residents of Canada.

    Due to international mail delays, the CRA is temporarily accepting non-resident income tax returns through fax. You can fax your return to the tax centre applicable to your country of residence.

     

    As per our TurboTax article Canadian Tax Obligations If You Live Outside of Canada

    In addition, the last year you live in Canada, you must file a final return. Report your income as usual, but if you claim any benefits or credits, only claim an amount related to the portion of the year you spent in Canada.

     

    For further information please Contact the Canada Revenue Agency.
