pinky

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I have 1042-s form from casino in U.S last year (they took 30% of winning amount)

I searched google and I need to report tax return when I apply canada tax return .

so I tried to put all my information from simple tax by my self and look like I am not able to get money what amount U.S took it.

For example U.S took tax from me $5000 and I only will get return $1000 when I apply canadian tax return with 1042-s together.

(It is lot of money ... )

 

is it right amount?

I am not U.S resident and I don't know why I have to pay tax to U.S depand on my canada income..

 

Do you have any idea how I can get 100% amount U.S TAX ? Should I hire accounter from U.S?

Please let me know.. need help!

 

Thanks alot!

Hello pinky,

RE Do you have any idea how I can get 100% amount U.S TAX  

>>No - please consult an accountant

The 1042-S should be entered as follows

To enter these IRS slips:.For example [1042-S / 28 Gambling winnings]

>>>Interview setup

(left hand navigation pane - - beneath “CRA Express NOA”) >> Double click “interview setup”

>>On right hand of screen

Find the section [Investment income and expenses]

>>Select Foreign income or foreign property (T1135) - - >

  >>Foreign capital gains - Stock, mutual funds & other non depreciable property

>>In the section [Foreign non-business income]

  >>Income from foreign dividends

(or interest / capital gains / other)

 

*Country from where you received the foreign income

If the country signed a tax treaty with Canada, a deduction under 20(11) will not be allowed.

[United States (tax treaty with Canada)]

*Description of the source of the foreign income  [1042-S / 28 Gambling winnings]

 

If you are entering amounts in Canadian dollars, enter 1 for the exchange rate. The average exchange rate for $US was 1.3497 in 2023. See the Bank of Canada's website (www.bankofcanada.ca) for other exchange rates.

It's crucial to report your 1042-S form when filing your Canadian tax return, especially if you've had taxes withheld by a U.S. casino. To ensure you're claiming the correct refund, consider seeking professional tax advice or using tax software tailored for these situations.Regarding online gambling, if you're interested, you might want to explore best casino bonuses online for potential opportunities to enhance your gaming experience. These bonuses could provide added value and potentially offset some of the taxes withheld from your casino winnings.

I have a similar issue. I've been playing at an online casino on this site and now I want to withdraw my money, but despite the site claiming to be Canadian, I don't see any confirmations of that. In this case, do I need to hire an accountant before withdrawing these funds? Also, if anyone has encountered a similar situation, is there a way to find out in which country this casino is registered on my own?

You need to file a tax return with the US. You need to apply and get an ITIN number....once you have that you file can file a return. You don't claim the money back from Canada. This process is easy and I have done it myself for the last 5+ years. Each year the 1040NR form changes a bit, but it's very straight forward. For example, I filed for 2023 and this year I needed to include a 1040-NR FORM

@UFile Hey guys! 

Please note that there is a problem with the UFile app in regards to handling taxes collected in the US on interests on a Canadian citizen account (Form 1042-S).

Ufile calculates the taxes considering the withheld taxes on 1042-S. But according to Article 11 (XI) Interest, paragraph 1, the taxes collected on interest in US are not relevant for Canada tax returns: 

Article XI

Interest

1. Interest arising in a Contracting State and paid to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State.

 

In other words, Canada is the only entity allowed to tax interest generated in US, on a Canadian citizen account. The only way of getting back the US withheld taxes on interests (avoiding double taxation) being to fill in a 1040-NR form + Schedule OI (for form 1040-NR) and mail them to IRS.
