Hi All,

Alright, so a smaller investment I had in Canada reached maturity and was cashed out AFTER I had left and deemed myself a non-resident of Canada. The thing is is that the 25% non-residents tax was not taken off the total. My question is what forms are needed to fill out to have the total 25% tax taken off? Is there tax forms in both Canada and the USA needing to be filled out? I'm kinda lost with this right now so if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

You are not responsible for paying the non-resident tax.. the people who gave you the money are...

But the people you need to call is the International Tax Services Office for the CRA... Their number is on their website...

Thanks for the info. And I would assume that the 25% tax is just for the capital gain of the investment, not the actual original investment amount itself.

I will call the CRA and ask them about it. Thanks again.
