How do I apply my Canadian NR4 on my federal tax form? This is for a retirement distribution and the non-resident tax withheld, so do I enter both in Income on a 1099?

To enter the NR4, treat it as if it is a SSA-1099 and enter it in the Retirement Plans and Social Security section, under ‘Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1099)’.

Then, go to the Deductions and Credits section and select Foreign Taxes under ‘Estimates and Other Taxes Paid’ to enter any foreign tax you already paid to Canada on that income
