Her primary residence address, which is the same one she uses on her CRA account, will be used.

 

Thanks for choosing TurboTax.

Which is considered primary? She is in Ottawa 8 months and Halifax 4 months, but most of her work - and tax forms -say Halifax. She doesn't have a CRA account as this is her first time filing.

A primary place of residence may be differentiated from a secondary place of residence since the terms primary and secondary are necessarily defined in relation to each other.
