T4

The T4 slip represents employment income before deductions, as indicated in box 14 of the slip. Use the keyword T4 to enter all information from a T4 slip. Each T4 slip is entered as a separate T4 group.

DT Max will enter this amount on line 10100 of the federal tax return and on line 101 of the Quebec tax return.

Do not use the following amounts, even if they are included in the total on the T4 slip:

  • the amount of Workers' Compensation Board or CNESST benefits, which should be reported on a T5007 slip (or RL-5 in Quebec) and should be entered under WorkersComp (workers' compensation benefits) or under CNESST-Fed (benefits from the Commission des normes, de l'équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail).

DT Max will produce a T4 income schedule for each T4 slip and a summary of employment income showing the total of all T4 entries.

Line 10100 - Employment income

Secondary keywordProv-Employ

Indicate the province of employment if different from the province of residence. If your client was a Quebec resident on December 31 and received employment income outside of Quebec, DT Max will transfer to Quebec 45% of the federal income tax withheld at source and report it on line 43800 of the federal income tax return and on line 454 of the Quebec income tax return.

Secondary keywordReleve1

Releve1 RL-1 Box A - Employment incomes [Que. L.101]

Secondary keywordCPP-Contrib

Use CPP-Contrib to enter the Canada Pension Plan deducted at source from box 16 on the T4 slip. DT Max will calculate the allowable amounts and refunds if applicable.

DT Max will enter the deductible amount on line 30800 of the federal tax return. The CPP overpayment will be entered on line 44800 of the federal tax return.

DT Max will prorate the amounts due for persons reaching the ages of 18 or 70, as well as for persons beginning to receive CPP disability or retirement pensions during the year.

When a taxpayer below the age of 70 begins receiving his retirement or disability pension from the Canada or Quebec Pension Plans during the year, the policy of the CRA and the Ministère de Revenu du Québec is to prorate both the income for the year and the basic CPP/QPP exemption amount. The prorated amount is the pensionable income amount, were it was earned throughout the year. If you enter the true pensionable income for the year (the amount earned before retirement or before the taxpayer begins to receive CPP or QPP) using the keywords CPP-EarnOV or QPP-EarnOV, DT Max may calculate a different pensionable amount. If you wish for this base to be accepted, you will have to include a note explaining your amounts and indicating why the proration is not accurate. Because the taxpayers computers are set up to prorate as indicated above, if you insist on the taxpayer accepting this calculation, the tax return should not be efiled because your amounts will be deemed incorrect.

The number of months for such prorating is indicated on the T4A(P) slips issued by the CRA and is entered in DT Max as PensionMonth. Make sure that this is entered correctly for DT Max to be able to calculate correctly.

  See the CRA's general income tax guide:
Line 30800 - Base CPP or QPP contributions through employment income

Secondary keywordQPP-Contrib

Use the keyword QPP-Contrib to enter the Quebec Pension Plan deducted at source from box B on the RL-1 slip. DT Max will calculate the allowable amounts and refunds if applicable.

DT Max will enter the deductible amount on line 30800 of the federal tax return. The contributions overpaid to the QPP will be entered on line 452 of the Quebec return. The employee's QPP contributions will be entered on line 98 of the Quebec tax return.

The CRA bases the CPP and QPP contribution deduction on the employment earnings on the amount of CPP and QPP actually deducted on the T4 slip and RL-1. Hence, if the CPP or QPP has been underdeducted, the actual amount deducted on the T4 slip will be claimed on line 30800 of the federal income tax return. However, if there were both employment and self-employment income, and the amount of CPP or QPP has been underdeducted on the T4 slip or RL-1, the CRA uses the amount that should have been deducted on the T4 slip or RL-1 to determine the amount payable on self-employed and optional earnings on schedule 8 (line 9). For federal tax purposes, DT Max adopts the CRA's method.

Revenue Quebec bases the CPP & QPP contribution deduction as follows: if there was only employment income, the contribution deduction is the amount of CPP or QPP that should have been deducted on the T4 slip and RL-1, if there were both employment income and self-employment income, and the amount of CPP or QPP has been underdeducted on the T4 slip or RL-1, the contribution payable on self-employment earnings is based on the CPP or QPP amount actually deducted on the T4 slip or RL-1. For Quebec tax purposes, DT Max adopts Revenue Quebec's method.

DT Max will prorate the amounts due for persons reaching the ages of 18. See CPP-Contrib for more information.
