I have a NR4 received from Canada for withdrawing my RRSP.
When I enter my NR4 information, it asks 'Any Distributions From This Plan?'.
Can anyone tell me what number I'm supposed to put as 'Total Distribution' and 'Taxable Part of Distribution'?
Do I enter the gross Income or the amount after deducting 'Non Resident Tax withheld'?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
Enter the Gross Income amount for both 'Total Distribution' and 'Taxable Distribution'.
Then you can claim a Foreign Tax Credit for the tax you paid to Canada.
Under Deductions & Credits, scroll down to 'Estimates & Other Taxes Paid' and choose 'Foreign Taxes'.
At 'Tell us About your Foreign Taxes' choose 'none of these apply'. Continue, and choose 'Take a Credit'.
Continue, and choose 'Passive Income' for Income Type and choose Canada as Country.
Enter description 'Canadian Pension' and the amount of your Gross Distribution (you won't be taxed twice; this is to link the income to the Foreign Tax amount).
Continue to screen 'Foreign Taxes Paid - Canada' where you can enter the amount of Canadian Tax you paid in the 'Foreign Taxes on Other Income' field. For date, you can enter 12/31/2021 (or the date you actually received it; it won't make a difference).
