Returned to Canada / Did not file W8-BEN

Post by ams »

Hello,

I am hoping someone can answer the following question. I returned to Canada couple of years ago but did not file a W8BEN with my US Brokers. In 2009 I sold some stocks and have had a capital gain.

Q1. Do I need to pay tax in the US for the Capital Gains?

Q2. If no, do I still need to fill out a 1040NR? I have had no other income in the US besides the Investment income in 2009.

Thank you

No and no
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
