You should not report your child’s income (e.g., their T4, T4A, T4A(P), or T5 slips) on your tax return. Your child may need to file their own tax return. They may need to file a return if: 1. They have earned income.It’s generally to your child’s benefit to file a tax return when they’ve earned income:often the income earned is low enough (below the Basic personal amount) that any tax deducted from their pay results in a refund; andthey begin to accumulate Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) contribution room.2. They want to receive some government benefits.3. They have eligible tuition fees.

It’s generally to your child’s benefit to file a tax return when they’ve earned income:

often the income earned is low enough (below the Basic personal amount) that any tax deducted from their pay results in a refund; and
they begin to accumulate Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) contribution room.

2. They want to receive some government benefits.

3. They have eligible tuition fees.
