Filing Taxes outside of Canada

[C32 46]

Hi!

 

I just moved to the USA a week and a half ago. I only received my T4 slips right after my visa was approved so I’ve not had time to do my taxes until now. 

 

Is there a separate form I should be filling out for filing outside of Canada? The address section was created for Canadian addresses only. So I may have to just force my American address in somehow?

 

(I’ve already updated my address and date of departure on my online CRA account, so perhaps I can just leave that section blank?)

 

also, the total value of my possessions is less than $10,000. Do I still have to declare my possessions? The threat of being fined $25/day for not filing a declaration makes me nervous. 

 

TIA!

There used to be a part on the front of the Cdn tax forms that asked when you ceased to be a Cdn resident....I put the day down that I crossed the border into the USA on my CR-1 visa....but that was in 2004......

I did a paper filing because the online form would not allow for a non-canadian address even with the appropriate place marked.

I could do that if I moved in 2018. It makes it a little more confusing having just moved this year how to properly address the form. 

 

I think I’m just writing in my address by hand and making it fit somehow 🤷🏻‍♀️

where were u on dec 31 of 2018??  Living in Canada or the USA?  If its Canada, you should just be filing as per normal as you were a Cdn resident the whole year........then for 2019, you would do your Exit return for Canadian taxes....Im a RN, not an accountant though,lol   You could ask on Serbinksi tax forums  https://forums.serbinski.com/viewforum.php?f=2
