The NR4  has income code 39 - Superannuation, pension benefits, periodic payments (from a private company) and exemption code T - Other exempting provisions: Exemption from withholding tax as a result of other exempting provisions of a tax convention, other than those given above in codes I, and P through R.

Best answer by

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

When I entered the amount as social security. 15% is not taxable. The NR4 is from a private pension, shouldn't be 100% taxable?
