Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You would report this the same way you would if it were US income.  Since it wasn't reported to you on your W2 you can report it as miscellaneous income.  Scroll down in the wages and income section of your federal return until you reach the bottom section 'Less Common Income'.  Around the middle of that section is "Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion".  You're going to enter it there.  

 

Click start and then enter the RSU income as wages earned on a statement from a foreign employer.  Here's where you have to do the work OUTSIDE of TurboTax.  You'll need to google the conversion rate on the date that you received the RSU income or as close to it as you can and then convert the Canadian amount to USD in order to enter it here.  

 

Once you've done that the system will walk you through steps to figure out if you can exclude any of this income from your return.  It will also help you enter the taxes you already paid on this amount in Canada so that you aren't paying the taxes twice (you're going to have to convert that amount as well).
