Federal Foreign Tax Credits  
 
Use this form to calculate the amount you can deduct from your federal tax for 2023. If this claim is for a year before 2023,
go to canada.ca/cra-forms to get a previous version of this form.
You can claim this credit if you were resident in Canada at any time in the tax year and you had to include, on your Canadian
return, income sourced from a country other than Canada for which you paid non-business or business taxes to that foreign
country.
Send only one Form T2209 per tax year. If your total foreign taxes paid to all foreign countries was more than $200, calculate
the total foreign taxes paid for each foreign country on a separate sheet and enter the total on this form.
