How does a nonresident with Canadian income who filed a R105 waiver file a tax return?
Hey, I live in the U.S. and am a sole proprietor. I worked in Alberta, Canada for three weeks during 2015 as a lecturer. This is the first time I've ever worked in Canada. I obtained a ITN and also filed a R-105 waiver so that no taxes were withheld at source.
I understand that I now need to file a Canadian tax return, but am struggling to figure out TurboTax. I set up all my personal details, marked myself as nonresident, etc. That part was fine.
I think I need to fill out T2125 for the income, but the form requires a business address inside Canada. What do I enter here?
I earned a total of 6,000 CAD but appear to owe no taxes as it's below the basic personal amount. Do I really get this entire credit as a nonresident?
Thanks.

Filing
You do not have to file a Canadian income tax because you were a nonresident (lived in Canada <183 day), and you have no tax liability. This is what separates Canada from the US. See link on nonresident explanation http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/nnrsdnts/ndvdls/nnrs-eng.html#rsdncstts . I am not sure what credit you're referring to, but you will not be getting any tax refunds as no tax was withheld from your income.
