Is this you?
- I received U.S. or foreign dividends
- Tax was already withheld
- I didn't claim anything extra
"The tax was already taken care of."
Foreign withholding can often be recovered through a Foreign Tax Credit - but only if claimed correctly.
Why guessing is risky
- Unclaimed credits are lost refunds
- Errors surface during CRA matching
- Credits can't always be recovered later
Safe to ignore if
- No foreign income existed
- Credits were already claimed
Stop and check if
- Foreign tax was withheld
- No credit appeared on the return
