How do I file T4 and T5 slips for my corporation on the T2 Software

How corporations using T2 software file T4 and T5 slips separately from their T2 return, including steps, requirements, and optional done-for-you filing services.

If you’re using T2 corporate tax software, T4 and T5 slips are not filed within your T2 return.

They must be prepared and submitted separately.

What you need to do

Depending on your corporation’s activity:

  • File T4 slips if you paid employees (salary, wages, bonuses)

  • File T5 slips if you paid dividends to shareholders

How to file

  1. Prepare the required slips (T4 or T5) for each recipient

  2. Complete the corresponding summary (T4 Summary or T5 Summary)

  3. Submit them to the CRA (typically electronically) - free option

  4. Provide copies to employees or shareholders

Key point

T4 and T5 filings are separate from your T2 return and are not completed inside T2 software.

Summary

  • T2 → corporate tax return

  • T4 / T5 → separate filings for employee income and dividends

You must file T4 and T5 slips separately from your T2 return.
