I have received a T5 statement of investment income form from the Canada Revenue Agency. Do I need to claim this on my American taxes and how if so?
Yes - you do have to declare the investment income reported to you on the Canadian Form T5 - Statement of Investment Income. Enter the dividends as if they were reported on a 1099-DIV:
Thank you for your reply. How would I enter the amount on the 1099-DIV in Canadian funds?
You need to convert the Canadian amounts to U.S. dollars and then enter the U.S. dollar amounts in TurboTax. Use the "taxable amounts" from the form.
You have a choice of which rate to use, so use the one that is most beneficial to you. Here are some resources for exchange rates. If given a choice of a date, use December 31, 2021.
