Supporting documents
When you file a paper return, attach your supporting documents to your return. If you make a claim without providing your documents, the CRA may disallow the credit or deduction you claimed and this could delay the processing of your return.
Whether you file by paper or electronically, keep your supporting documents for 6 years in case the CRA asks to see them later. Also keep a copy of your return and notice of assessment or reassessment.
Attach the following documents to your paper return:
-
a copy of your information slips such as a T4, T4A and T5, and provincial slips such as the Relevé 1 Slip, if applicable
-
your completed forms and schedules, when instructed
-
Form T776, Statement of Real Estate Rentals, or a statement showing your rental income and expenses for line 12600 - Rental income
-
a statement showing a breakdown of your total losses, the year of each loss and the amounts claimed in previous years for line 25100 - Limited partnership losses of other years
|
Note If you are missing an information slip, attach a copy of your final pay stub or statement instead. Keep your original documents. Also, attach a note stating the payer's name and address, the type of income involved and what you are doing to get the slip. |
