Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Are you Canadian citizens?  Are you US citizens or green card holders?   If I understand your situation correctly, unless you had workdays in the US in 2019, you have no US filing requirement if you are not a US citizen or green card holder.   Just because you work for a US employer in Canada does not mean your have to file a US tax return.

 

You should have completed a Form W-8BEN when you started work for your US employer in Canada.  This form exempts you from the 30% US tax withholding 

 

If your US employer withheld US taxes, then you need to file a US tax return to have your US taxes refunded.
