QUESTION:

Hi,
I did a deemed disposition as of jan 1 2005, and liquidated all my canadian investments in 2006.

This year, I received:
an NR4 and a T2062 for my life insurance policy
(the NR lists gross income but no withheld tax)
a t5 (?) for interest income
a mutual fund t5008 for securities I sold

I know how to show the interest income, but am not sure a) why I got an NR4 and a T2062 on the life insurance. How does one show this on their return?

Lastly, my understanding is that my tax obligation to canada on capital gains on the mutual funds is complete, and I just show those now on my US return. Is this accurate?

Thanks,

You would then claim the 10% tax on the interest on US form 1116 with your 1040.
