Understanding the Flow

  1. The user enters Slips into ProFile.
  2. The user navigates to the FTC form and enters the country.
  3. The user reviews the CRA FTC forms (T2209/T2036); they are already automatically populated, based on the FTC form in step 2 above.
  4. The credit flows automatically to the S1 (federal)/[provincial]428 form).

Frequently asked questions

Check the FTC form and slip and ensure that the country is selected.

Tax treaties between Canada and other countries vary, and ProFile does not track them. ProFile provides the 15% calculation, but users must review Subsection 20(11) and tax treaties for the country entered. If correct, it is safe for the user to sign off the message or adjust the amount as necessary.
