| Almanacers,
A client of mine is a US resident and lives in Canada. She made both wages and dividend income from Canadadian sources. She made no income from US sources. Her T1 tax return has been prepared for Canada. I have to prepare two form 1116's since she made both wage and dividend income. On her Canadian tax return, it shows a lump sum of the taxes to be owed to Canada. Since I need to know how much taxes were paid or accrued for her wage income and how much were for her dividends on each form 1116, do I pro rate it? | |

| Don't overlook the TDF 90-22.1 filing and disclosure on Schedule B and to ask about RRSPs. Are you sure the dividends are not high tax kickout? | |

| If the Canadian tax is imposed at the same rate for both items, then proration seems appropriate. | |

| If your client is paying Canadian taxes on his or her income, you might want to look at taking a Foreign tax credit. | |
