I see non-resident S216 in Turbotax online, but I cannot find the same option in Turbotax desktop.

Eventually when you select non-resident S216, Turbotax online will provide form T1159. I searched for all forms available in the desktop product, but form T1159 was not listed.

Can you confirm that this option (non-resident s216) is only available in Turbotax online and not turbotax desktop?

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.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

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

We appreciate your feedback I will be sure to send this to the appropriate department so that we can verify the issue. I will keep you updated.

Thank you for your patience. 

I have the same question because turbo tax website said:

If you’re a non-resident, you need to report these types of income:

• Any employment income in Canada
• Any other Canadian-sourced income, such as scholarships, fellowships, bursaries, research grants
• Income from a business that is located in Canada 
• Capital gains from selling Canadian property
• Net partnership income (limited and non-active partners only)

You don’t need to report other types of income but must enter them on your tax return in Schedule A – Statement of World Income. 

My question is why must I enter them on my tax return for the income I earned outside of Canada.

Can someone help please? I am not sure if I should enter in my world wide income in Schedule A if I am a non-resident. Thank you

We are pleased to see our TurboTax telephone support team is helping you at this time.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
