Residency:
Your province of residence for tax purposes is where you were living on December 31 of the tax year. If you moved to another province or territory during the year, use the tax package for the province or territory you resided in on December 31, 2013.
If you live in Quebec and work in another province you need to request a tax transfer to Quebec. You have to file a separate provincial return for Quebec.
Moving Expenses:
If the move is more than 40 kms for the new job you may deduct moving expenses.
You must fill out form T1-M for each move. Moving expenses are claimed on line 219 of T1.
