Question

Retired but still getting T4

Forum|Forum|1 year ago

I'm retired but still get a T4 from my previous employer for a very small taxable benefit ($62). If I complete the Turbo Tax "Are you employed" by answering NO, the software does not allow me to submit a T4 page. In order to get a T4 page for me to enter the small amount, I have to indicate that I'm employed. How do I bypass this?

You need to answer "yes" to that question to report information on your T4 slip.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

Thanks but that's the issue. I'm NOT employed. Telling the CRA I work when I don't has all sorts of other connotations. Is there not some way to set up my own choices on what T documents I want to input? If not, then Turbotax is flawed. Guess I'll call the CRA next year and ask, or perhaps submit using another software program.

Contact the CRA at 1-800-959-8281 and see what they suggest you do about your T4.
