Do I need to file an Old Age Security Return of Income (OASRI) form?
In January, you will receive: • an OAS Return of Income (OASRI) form that you must fill out; and • an NR4 OAS information slip to use when you fill out your OASRI form. Your NR4 OAS information slip shows the amount of OAS paid to you in the previous year and the amounts deducted for taxes. When you fill out your OASRI form, be sure to fill in the amounts that are indicated on your NR4 slip. Also, be sure to enter the OAS repayment amount on line 235 of your OASRI form. You must send the OASRI form to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). If the CRA does not receive this form, you will stop receiving your OAS payments beginning in July. To make sure that your OAS pension payments are not interrupted, be sure to submit your OASRI form by April 30. NOTE: If you live in a country where the non-resident tax on Canadian pensions is lower than 25 percent, you do not need to file an OASRI form.
