Part year taxes

Post by barracudan »

We moved from Ontario to Michigan mid year. While filing Canadian tax return , the tax software only generated federal tax return. Is there no Ontario return required because we were not residents in December 31?

not commenting on how your software is working, but you still have to list your province of residence as Ontario for 2024.

The question should read "your province of residence on December 31 OR on the date you left Canada". This should generate the necessary ON forms (and tax)

For 2024, you are NOT considered non-resident, you are considered "Emigrant", with a departure date during the year. NEXT YEAR (2025) you will be considered non-resident, and unlikely needing to file a non-resident return.
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
