I have a situation where the client moved from Canada to the US in October, 2024 and has both employment income in Canada (T4) and US (W2). In 2024, she is a non-resident alien in the US and a resident of Canada for tax purposes, according to the US Substantial Presence Test. She has paid taxes in both countries.
I have filled out the TurboTax FTC and T2209 forms, entering her US income and taxes paid . While the US foreign income (converted to Cdn) drops into her income stream, the tax credit does not. I see a value on line 1 and 2 of the T2209 form and the amount in line 3 should be the lower of the two. Instead it shows nothing.
Is this an issue in TurboTax? I could override the zero value, but this might make the return ineligible for Netfile.
