So even if the form itself is not ready to hand to the employee by the first business day in March, the employer should know the information that belongs on it. The employer is supposed to provide a copy of the T4 to the employee.
In reality, though, many employers do not provide the slip on time. What can you do then? If the employer filed the information correctly with the government, you may be able to get a copy of your T4 slip from the CRA instead of directly from your employer! My young relative applied for such an account and now can see his T slips online. Next year, if his T4 goes astray again, he will check whether he can get a copy more quickly from the CRA website.
You will need a copy of the income tax return you last submitted that has been processed by the CRA to verify your identity. Your Notice of Assessment will not be useful, you need the actual return you submitted so that you can look up what number you reported on a specific line when they ask you for that number.
The value may differ from that reported on your Notice of Assessment for that same line. There is a big slow step in the middle of creating a personal CRA My Account to look at your T4 and other T slips online: you have to wait for Canada Post to deliver you a special access code!
After you receive the letter, you can input the code online and get complete access to your CRA My Account including access to view your T4 and some other tax slips. Then, when you finally get the correct information you can file a change to your income tax return. In the Tax information — amount entered on line XXX of your XXXX return text box, type the amount you reported on that specific line of your income tax return.
For example, they may ask you to type the amount you reported on line of your return. You can also ask to receive your code by email or telephone but you may change all future contact with the CRA by doing this. A retirement allowance does not include, however, salary, wages, overtime, legal fees, a superannuation or pension benefit, or payments for accumulated vacation leave not taken before retirement. The average small business owner spends hours a week on their own books.
There are benefits to outsourcing your bookkeeping and payroll , giving more time back to you to work on your business. Even if you file your T4 slips on time, they can still be lost, have delivery issues, or even face late fees. Many business owners are unsure of where to report certain things, such as health premiums or taxable benefits. Having FBC do your payroll will eliminate this weekly concern and ensure that it is done accurately and on time. FBC offers a direct deposit option for your payroll.
First and foremost, the CRA is paid accurately and on time using this option, which reduces the headaches and government issues due to this automation. Direct deposit also gives business owners less paperwork due to the elimination of cheques. Additional benefits are accuracy, efficiency, and employees paid on time.
