This is our main tax information forum which deals with topics concerning Canadians living and working in the U.S., U.S. citizens contemplating working in Canada, and all aspects of Canadian and U.S. income tax and related adminstrative issues.
Ok I think I got it. For the $2500 qualified dividends I refer to the worksheet to see if they are taxed at 0%, 15% or 20%. For the $2500 of ordinary dividends I use the general effective tax rate ($2500/AGI * total tax).
I then add the two amounts of tax together and if they are more than 15% TOTAL I'm capped at 15% on the Canadian side and any excess can go on line 232 correct?
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
