Boxes 20 and 21 of this T4E indicate monies paid to you by the Employment Programs Branch or your provincial government while you were participating in their approved employment initiative.
If you received EI benefits or CERB and you’re in a training program approved by the Employment Programs Branch, you’ll receive a second T4E. The EI payments and CERB payments will be in box 14. If you received EI benefits and/or CERB, you’ll get 1 T4E from Service Canada. Visit MSCA if you want to change how you get your T4E. If you don’t receive your T4E by mid-March, contact us. If you choose to receive your T4E by mail, or if you didn’t select any delivery option on your EI application, your T4E will be mailed by February 28. To access your T4E online, you need to login or register for MSCA. You can view, print and submit a copy of it with your Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) tax return. Your T4E is available as early as February 1 through My Service Canada Account (MSCA). Therefore, box 26 of your 2021 T4E will show the $100 repayment and your 2018 T4E won’t change. For example, in March 2021 you were notified that you owe $100 because you were overpaid EI benefits in 2018. The repayment information is in box 26 of your T4E. Note: When you repay money towards an outstanding EI debt, you claim the repayment amount on your tax return for the year that you repaid the money. For example, if your EI claim began on December 22, 2020, but you received your payment on or after January 1, 2021, it is income for 2021 and is included in your T4E for the 2021 tax year. The T4E(Q) is the same as a T4E but it has an additional copy to attach to your provincial tax return.ĮI benefits are taxable income in the taxation year in which they’re paid. If you're a Quebec resident as of December 31, you'll get a T4E(Q). the amount paid towards an overpayment (if applicable).the gross amount of benefits paid, including CERB.You must file this slip with your income tax return for that tax year.
T4Es are for 1 calendar year, from January 1 to December 31.
