My client filed his first tax return for FY 2021 in Canada as a resident. He has now left Canada and moved permanently to the USA on July 01, 2022. He maintains his principal residence in the USA and rental property as well in the US and he has no intention of being back to Canada. He files his tax return in the USA regularly. Since he was working in Canada from January to June 30, 2022, he was issued a T4 and his tax was deducted and shown under box 22 in his T4. If I prepare his Canadian tax return I shall have to show him “NON-RESIDENT” as of 12/31/2022, Under Residency (province of residence on 2022/12/31) on the info page”.But I receive an error message (warning info) that if a taxpayer emigrated from Canada, you must select the province of residence on the date of departure. I don’t find any place in the info page profile in order to show his province of residence on the date of departure. I shall appreciate it if someone guides me to resolve this issue.
- Further, Do I need to report his US rental income too, for the period when he was a resident (January to June 2022) under foreign income in his Canadian return?
