I need to file my 2022 tax for electing under section 216. There is an option in TurboTax online to select 2022 residency as non-resident S216 that does exactly what I need, but I cannot find the same option in TurboTax Desktop Premier.

Eventually when I select non-resident S216 in online product I get form T1159. I searched all supported forms in TurboTax desktop Premier, but form T1159 is not listed there.

Can you confirm that non-resident S216 (form T1159) is only supported in online Turbotax and not the desktop version?

TurboTax CD or Download Premier

You will find Non-Resident S-16 in the Provincial section of the TurboTax CD/Download. Once you go to Provincial click on get organized- Choose Non-Resident S-16 and the following pages is where you will enter your information.

In TurboTax desktop version, on the Provincial tab there there is an options for:

"Non-resident making a Section 216.1 election"

But I'm looking for Non-resident making a Section 216 election, not 216.1 election.

Section 216.1 is different than Section 216:

-Section 216.1 is for film and video acting services rendered in Canada

-Section 216 is rental income from real or immovable property in Canada or timber royalties on a timber resource property or a timber limit in Canada

There is no option in Turbotax desktop in provincial tab for section 216. Please verify

Can you please show where you find the T1159 in TTO and not in TTD? I want to make sure that we are looking for the same thing so that I can replicate what you are doing. (You can send a picture of the page T1159)

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
