Deduction for employees of prescribed international
organizations
If you were employed by a prescribed international organization
during the taxation year, such as the United Nations, you can claim
a deduction for the net employment income you report from that
organization. Net employment income is your employment income minus
the related employment expenses that you are claiming.
To do so, follow the procedure below:
1- On the "Left side menu on the Interview
tab", select "Interview setup".
2- On the screen to your right, go to the "Other
topics" group, choose the line "Other deductions
and credits (including public transit passes and home buyers'
amount)" and click "Next" at the bottom
of the page.
3- Return to the "Left side menu on the Interview
tab" and select "Other deductions and
credits" on the page to the right, scroll down to the
"Additional deductions (federal line 25600 and Quebec line
297)"and click the plus
sign" + "located to the right of
the line.
4 - On the page that appears, on the line "Deduction for
employees of international organizations" enter the amount
of the deduction entered on the T4. If the amount is different on
the RL-1 click on the "Maple Leaf" icon and a new
field will appear in order to enter the Quebec amount.
5 However, if the person worked for an International Financial
Center, complete the second section of the page.
6. Enter the name of the recognized international
organization.
The program will report the amount on line 25600 of the
federal return and, for Quebec residents, on line 297 of the
Quebec return, with code 14 displayed on line 296.
