SSA retirement benefits and 1040NR

Iam Canadien. I start to get SSA retirement benefits this years. Additionally I will get RMD from IRS  All together it will be   less than $4000. Could I report something for IRS ( 1040NR, for example)?

What is your status in the US?  Are you a US resident alien or a nonresident alien living in the US?

Since you are a Canadian resident, not living or working in the US, then you only need to file a Canadian tax return.  The US Social Security benefits you receive is reported on your Canadian tax return along with the income received from a US IRA or other US tax deferred retirement account.
