I’m a Canadian Non-Resident living and working in the states for a US company on a TN-1 Visa (close to 5 years now). When doing small freelance work for some clients back in Canada (earnings under 5k), do I need to file a tax return?

Report the business income earned from freelance work for Canadian customers on your US tax return (1040). This is because, pursuant to the US-Canada tax treaty, business income is sourced to the country where your fixed place of business is situated, which in your case is the US.
