Nonresident Tax Issues

I am wondering if you're able to help me file a NR7-R for me?

I am wondering if you're able to help me file a NR7-R for me? I am British and live in Thailand BUT invest in Canadian ETF's , mainly covered call products. I have therefore generated income the past tax year that my broker has submitted to CRA. I am taxed 15% at present WHT which is fine but am wondering if I file the NR7-R that this number can be further reduced to zero?I am retired and have no income from my resident country being Thailand. I did write to the CRA who provided me with an ITN number already. Is this a service you could provide for me please AND/OR you already know i cannot claim this withheld tax back so would be pointless doing so? Many thanks in advance for any guidance!

Tax Filing Tips

Amended returns for two years?

My dad is 90. Mom died over two years ago. I’m a son, 51, caring for him and live with him without any pay. I have no income. After mom died, he had to file single, and that caused him to owe thousands of dollars. We did this years taxes already. Can he file amended returns for the last two years and claim me so he could possibly get some of his money back from the IRS?

Tax Forms

Need to know what Massachusetts tax forms I need to fill out for my aunt who died on 3/12/22

My Aunt passed away on 3/22/22 with less than 1M in assets. I am the court appointed Personal Representative for her Estate (no Trust). She only has a checking/savings/brokerage account which continue to receive Interest/dividends/cap gains. No assets have been distributed to her sole beneficiary (who is not a Massachusetts resident) yet. I want to file based on 2022 calendar year but am confused as to whether I do form 1, form 2 or both and what dates each should cover.

Personal Taxes

Reimbursed

Hello. I am trying to find out how I get reimbursed for taxes taken from my paychecks that weren't supposed to be taken. I live in Georgia and work from home. The company is in North Carolina, but I have never lived there. North Carolina took taxes from my paycheck when they shouldn't have. How do I get reimbursed for that?

Business made zero revenue. Being asked to pay sales tax

Hi, I filed my LLC but did not make profit this year. I received a letter saying I owe taxes for sales tax but I don’t know if that is correct. I understand I need to send in a quarterly tax return, but I didn’t make any revenue since filing an LLC. So what do I need to do from here?

Reporting caregiver compensation payed by parents

I did not have an employer in 2022. My parents payed me monthly compensation as a caregiver, my father was sick/died and mom also needs help. I want to report this as income and pay taxes including SS tax in order to remain "insured" for SS disability etc. How do I report this and does something need to show in my parents' tax filing regarding these payments?
