Benefit related to previous employment - Quebec

Since January 2012, a new box 211 for a "Benefit relating to previous employment" should appear on your RL-1 slip. The amount in box A includes only a taxable benefit (in cash or in kind) granted to an individual because of previous employment. This amount is equal to the total of the amounts entered in boxes J, K, L, P, V and W.

·       Box J, "Private health services plan"

·       Box K, "Trips made by a resident of a designated remote area"

·       Box L, "Other allocations and taxable benefits"

·       Box P, "Contribution to a multi-employer insurance plan"

·       Box V, "Meals and lodging"

·       Box W, "Use of a motor vehicle for personal purposes"

To enter these amounts, please follow these steps:

1. On the left-side menu of the " Interview " tab, select "Interview setup".
