# BorderBird

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/554357/BorderBird

> BorderBird is rental management software for a landlord the mainstream tools overlook: the cross-border owner. If you're a Canadian who bought a Florida or Arizona rental, or a non-resident who still rents out a place back in Canada, you face tax obligations on both sides of the border at once — and most software handles only one side.

BorderBird handles both from a single ledger. On the Canadian side it computes CRA Part XIII / NR4 non-resident withholding (25% of gross rent, or 25% of net with an approved NR6), builds the monthly remittance schedule with the 15th-of-the-following-month deadlines, tracks the March 31 NR4 slip, and prepares the figures behind a Section 216 return and an accountant-ready T776. On the US side it maps every expense to its IRS Schedule E line. Everything is reported in a dual-currency (CAD + USD) view using the Bank of Canada annual average rates the CRA accepts.

The way you feed it is deliberately private: instead of connecting to your bank or scanning your inbox, you forward the rent-payment emails you already receive — Interac e-Transfer, Zelle, Venmo, or Cash App notifications — to a private BorderBird address, and it matches each one to the right tenant and lease. It never connects to your inbox and never touches your money — which matters when you can't easily log into Canadian banking from abroad.

BorderBird prepares accountant-ready data and CSV exports, not filed forms — you or your accountant transcribe the numbers onto the actual returns. Start free with one door, no credit card, long enough to run a full tax year through it before deciding. Pro and Max Snowbird plans add forwarding auto-import, utility-bill capture, and multi-year history.
