T4 and W-2 tax questions

[Canerican 242]

Hello All,

Cannot wait to get taxes done this year.....So I have some questions concerning the T4 and US taxes and the W-2 and Canadian taxes:

On my T4 these are the boxes that have amounts in them:

14-Employment Income: I know where this goes on US taxes

16-CPP Contributions

18-EI Premiums

22-Income Tax Deducted

24-EI Insurable Earnings

26-CPP Pensionable Earnings

40-Other Income: Goes with employment income on US taxes

On the US taxes what is the equivalent of boxes16,18,22,24,26 and do I need to report them on my US taxes?

Using Turbo Tax for US taxes so do I put income and all other amounts (boxes above if included) under the tax exclusion question?

On my W-2:

1-Wages,tips, other comp.: know where this goes on CDN taxes

2-Federal Income Tax Withheld

3-Social Security Wages

4-Social Security Tax Withheld

5-Medicare Wages and tips

6-Medicare Tax Withheld

16-State Wages, tip, etc

17-State Income Tax

Likewise on the CDN taxes what is the equivalent of boxes 2-6,16,17 and do I need to report them on my CDN taxes?

What forms do I fill out for tax exclusion for CDN taxes?

Thank you for all of your help.

Sorry, also for US taxes on turbo tax it asks for an address for my CDN employer. This is the situation:

I worked in Canada at a Canadian office making Canadian money.

The employer has its headquarters in the US.

These are the options on Turbo Tax:

1.A Foreign Employer

2.A US Employer

3.My Own Company: Definitely not this one

4.A Foreign Affiliate of a US Company: Thinking it would be this one

5.Other

file your canadian taxes then use your canadian income as a foreign exclusion using form 2555.

I have seen that others have had to claim there CPP contributions, etc on their US taxes and I am asking if I have to claim SS withholding, etc on my CDN taxes. Thank you for your help but this does not answer my question.

I gave you the answer I was told on this forum from a Canadian/US tax specialist. You can try there if you'd like
