Entering residency status - non-residents

If you are a factual resident of Canada for tax purposes, choose the province or territory where you keep residential ties.

If you are a non-resident or a deemed resident, follow the steps below.

  1. Open the Personal Information window.
  2. In the Personal Information window, click the Province of residence drop-down list, then select non-resident (at the bottom of the list).
  3. Click OK.
  4. Go to page 1 of your T1 General, and select your status in the "Information about your residency status" section.

    TurboTax transfers this information to Schedule A - Statement of World Income.

  5. If you are a non-resident making a Section 217 or 216.1 election, indicate this on the top of Schedule A.
