Re: Creating 1099-B by hand from T5008 for mutual funds disposal

OK, sounds like it's what I described in B, then. I assume it's fine to use the yearly exchange rate for each monthly event, as the IRS does not provide month-by-month values. Thanks.

Creating 1099-B by hand from T5008 for mutual funds disposal

Hi, I'm a dual Canadian & US citizen, with US residency since 2010. In 2018 I sold shares of a mutual fund at a Canadian institution which I had from before my move (note I never filled out any kind of departure tax form). This institution provided me with a T5008 Canadian tax form, which I am l...

Re: Capital gains for a Canadian non-resident

I've indeed had dividend tax withheld at source since 2015, though at a 15% rate (which seems accurate based on "Article X" from https://www.fin.gc.ca/treaties-conventions/unitedstates-etatunis-eng.asp). I take it then that I do not owe any capital gain tax to Canada, and do not need to pr...

Re: Capital gains for a Canadian non-resident

Correction: I received the T5008 from the broker and not from the CRA (obviously :)).

I've called the CRA help line for non-residents to inquire but wasn't able to get definitive answer as the agent couldn't find any information relating to capital gains.

Capital gains for a Canadian non-resident

Hi, I'm a US citizen & resident, a Canadian citizen & non-resident. In 2018 I sold mutual funds for which I have received a T5008 form from the CRA. This form indicates a higher number in Box 21 (Proceeds of distribution) than in Box 20 (Cost or book value). I understand this to represent a ...
