Where do I input an NR4 form with income code of 43 in turbo tax

Code 43 on the NR4 slip is RRSP – Lump-sum payments. These should go to Line 130 - Other income on the T1 General.

How to Enter Line 130 - Other Income in TurboTax:

In online editions of TurboTax

1. In the upper-right corner of your screen, select “Find”.

2. In the Find window, type in “Other Income”, select “Other Income Sources” from the list and click “Go”.

3. Enter your amount with a description in the second line. (Ignore the AgriInvest line).

4. Click the “Continue” button to save.

4. Click the “Continue” button to save.

If you don’t see the Find button, or see locks next to items in the menu you may not have completed the Setting Up/Introduction section of your return. Complete the Setting Up section to get access to the full menu and Find button.

Hi,

 

that would be for box 16 from NR4 slip.

What about box 17 from the same form (tax withheld) ?

Where is that going ?

 

Thanks,

Alex

 

What is the income code (box 14) on the slip?

 the code is 43

 

@gicamuci  - code 43 refers to box 14 or 24 of your NR4 slip. 

 

Please review the link provided below for further assistance from the CRA:

 

Go to box 14 or 24 and click on Appendix B to understand your code 43. It refers to the lump sum payment for RRSP. (You can also view the details of box 17 there as well)

• Filing out the NR4 slip

Thank you for your prompt response.

 

I understand what the NR4 is and the meanings of its boxes.

My question is while in TorboTax Standard 2019 (downloaded, not online), where do I enter the amounts I have in box 16 (gross income) and box 17 (non-resident tax withheld) ?

 

The link you provided refers to employers filing NR4s, not how individual tax payer should file a NR4.

 

Thanks,

Alex

 

I do apologize for providing (employer) links as opposed to taxpayer links to assist you with your NR4 slip.

 

There are a few factors to take into consideration when filing an NR tax return. 1) Residency status, 2) type of income claimed and 3) if we have a tax treaty with the country in question. 

In this case, I believe this is a "pension" income, therefore, you may not need to file a Canadian tax return but firstly read through the details provided below to determine your personal tax obligations as a non-resident.

 

From the CRA:

• Non-residents of Canada
• Electing under section 217

From TurboTax FAQs:

• How do I determine my residency status?
• How do I report foreign income, foreign pension and other foreign amounts?

Hope this helps!!

 

 

Which amount do I need to insert? Is is the Gross income?

If yes, where do I insert Non-Resident Tax Whithheld amount? 

I have the same question:

 

In TurboTax Standard 2019 (downloaded, not online), where do I enter the amounts I have in box 16 (gross income) and box 17 (non-resident tax withheld) ?

Hello, 

 

What about box 14 as 13 (Gross rents from real property)? Where should enter the data from NR4? I have set my residency as non-resident S216 and enterer the rental income as a Rental Property, but can't find any place to enter box 17 value.

 

Thanks.

I think the tax withheld in box 17 of the NR4 is supposed to be reported in box 43700 of the T1159.  But I can't figure out where to enter that in TurboTax! 

Exactly, I have the same question. I am a non-resident of Canada under section 216 (rental income) and have a NR4 with code 13. I don't know where to put box 16 and 17 of NR4 in TurboTax. I believe box 17 of NR4 mush be reported in line 43700 of form T1159, but cannot find anyway to enter it. Kindly help to find it. Thanks

Can you please let us know if you are using TurboTax Online or CD/download?

NR4 with  Box 13 -  is the Foreign or Canadian tax identification number. 

Here is a great TurboTax article: Non-Resident Section 216 – Rental Property

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

There are more questions in this thread than answers, so I thought I'd share what I've learned. I'm a Canadian citizen living and working in the USA so I'm a non-resident. I'm also not a tax expert so take everything below with a grain of salt. 🙃

 

First, you can call the CRA at a special line (for some reason I can't post the phone number here?) and talk specifically to someone about non-resident withholding. I was able to get through without any wait, which was a pleasant surprise. The person was very helpful and explained quite a bit.

 

What I learned after talking to the CRA agent is that the NR-4 is essentially a "mini return", filed by the company that issues the funds to you and submits the tax to the government on your behalf. It tells the CRA as a non-resident you've earned income, and that taxes have been paid. The reason why there's no place to "put the NR-4 into TurboTax" (which is what I too was trying to do) is that there's no need to do it unless you are also trying to do a full return. If you only have the NR-4, and no other Canadian income or losses, my understanding is that you do not need to file a return.

 

Now things get a little more complex if you have losses (I have a T5013 with losses) and you want to get back some of the tax you paid on the NR-4. If you don't put the info from the NR-4 into TurboTax, it doesn't know you've paid taxes, therefore there's nothing to get a refund against for the loss. That's something I'm trying to figure out now and will report back here if I get clarity.
