Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you have to use both the US and Canadian TurboTax programs to file two different returns—one for the US and another for Canada. You can claim a tax credit on the US return for tax paid to Canada (since you are a US citizen).

 

US citizens are taxed on worldwide income so you can use US TurboTax the same as someone living in the US.

 

T4 slip

Your T4 is foreign income. You can claim a foreign earned income exclusion since your did not live in the US.

 

Streaming income

Your streaming royalties would either be self-employment income (also qualifying for the foreign earned income exclusion) or royalties. You do not need a 1099 to report this income,

 

Stimulus payment

A stolen stimulus check is not a deduction. If you received your payment by check and it was lost, stolen or destroyed, you should request a payment trace so the IRS can determine if your payment was cashed. See How do I request a payment trace to track my third Economic Impact Payment?

 

If you were issued a payment and have not received it at all, see How do I request a payment trace to track my third Economic Impact Payments?
