Turbotax: T-slips

 

*** 
Relevant Material: "T-slips are official information documents that employers, financial institutions, and the government issue to report income and deductions to you and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Their significance lies in providing the essential, verified information needed to accurately file your annual Canadian income tax return using software like TurboTax. 

Significance of T-Slips
  • Income Verification: T-slips summarize all types of income you've earned throughout the year, ensuring all sources are reported to the CRA. The government cross-references the information on the slip with the data you report on your tax return.
  • Calculating Taxes Owed/Refunded: The slips detail amounts deducted at source, such as income tax, Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions, and Employment Insurance (EI) premiums, which are crucial for determining your final tax bill or refund.
  • Claiming Credits and Deductions: Specific boxes on different T-slips contain information that may qualify you for various tax credits and deductions.
  • Simplifying Filing with TurboTax: TurboTax software is designed to guide users through entering the information from specific boxes on your T-slips into the correct lines of your T1 General tax return.
  • Auto-fill My Return: If you use a tax software like TurboTax that connects to your CRA My Account, the "Auto-fill My Return" feature can automatically import most of your T-slip information, reducing the risk of manual data-entry errors. 
Common T-Slips
Each type of T-slip reports a different category of income. 
  • T4 (Statement of Remuneration Paid): The most common slip, used by employers to report employment income (Box 14), as well as CPP, EI, and income tax deductions.
  • T4A (Statement of Pension, Retirement, Annuity, and Other Income): A catch-all slip for income not reported on other forms, such as pension benefits, scholarships, self-employed commissions, or research grants.
  • T4A(OAS) (Statement of Old Age Security): Reports Old Age Security pension amounts received from the government.
  • T4E (Statement of Employment Insurance and Other Benefits): Issued to individuals who received EI benefits or financial assistance for approved employment programs.
  • T5 (Statement of Investment Income): Reports interest and dividend income earned from non-registered investment accounts.
  • T5008 (Statement of Securities Transactions): Issued by brokers to detail income or losses from buying and selling securities like stocks or bonds. 
You should receive most of your T-slips by the end of February each year. If a slip is missing, you should contact the issuer (employer, bank, etc.) or check your CRA My Account online. .." (Google)
