US resident musician who worked 70 days in Toronto paid by a CA company. Received a T4A-NR with income, travel expenses, income tax deducted. Do I need to file? Turbotax?
Not sure if I need to file a CA return, or if the withholding covers my liability in full. $30k income, $12k travel expenses, $5k income tax deducted, 2 reduction authorized, recipient code 1. I have no idea where to even start. Can I use turbotax to file? If so, which version? Do I need a CA ID number?

Getting started
Generally, as a non-resident, you would need to file a CA return if:
- you were employed in Canada;
- you carried on business in Canada; or
- you disposed of property in Canada.
None of these seems to apply to your situation. HOWEVER, you may still want to file a return if you want to claim a refund.
TurboTax Standard is our most popular version, which should take care of your situation. However, non-resident filings are on the complicated side, so you may want to get one of our experts to review your return.
Lastly, if you decide to file a return, then yes, you will need an Individual Tax Number (in lieu of the Social Insurance Number). You will need to contact CRA for this.
