T1204 - Government service contract payments

The T1204 slip is the summary of government service contract payments information issued by all federal government departments, agencies and Crown corporations to an individual, partnership, small business or corporation that provides goods or services under contract.

Although the program does not generate the T1204, you declare your income as self-employment income in the program using Form T2125, so that you can claim eligible expenses in return for contract payments regarding this self-employment income.

4- Complete the page for "Identification of the company", enter your fiscal year as well as the classification code of your company according to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). To find your NAICS code, you must click on the question mark "?", a window will pop up on the right-hand side of the field, with the complete list of the NAICS codes, to allow you to determine the code associated with your company's field of activity.

5- If applicable, do not forget to include your identification numbers for both the federal and Quebec governments.

6- Subsequently, after entering your company's identification information, a sub-menu on the "Left side menu on the Interview tab" will appear in order for you to enter the applicable information in "Income, Expenses", "Motor vehicle expenses", "Home office expenses" and so on
