Do I need to file taxes in Canada?

Post by hellomister40 »

Context: I declared Canadian non-residency in last year's tax filing for my family and myself. The bank where I have my Canadian accounts also has my US address on file

Q: My Canadian bank account generated a paltry interest in 2016 of USD160. Do I need to file taxes in Canada in lieu of that amount or do I just add it to the tax that I am filing in the US?

Thank you

Please don't "bump" your posts. They are no more important than anyone else's.
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best

Phone the CRA. They'll tell you.

Also, google the Canada Us Tax Treaty, and search for the heading "Interest" and read that.
