Completing the T4A-NR slip

Tips for completing T4A-NR slips

• Complete the slips clearly and in alphabetical order.
• Report, in dollars and cents, all amounts you paid during the year.
• Report all amounts in Canadian dollars, even if they were paid in another currency.
• Do not enter hyphens or dashes between numbers or names.
• Do not enter the dollar sign ($).
• Do not show negative dollar amounts on slips; to make changes to previous years, send us amended slips for the years in question. For more information go to Amending T4A-NR slips.
• If you do not have to enter an amount in a box, do not enter "nil"- leave the box blank.
• Do not change the headings of any of the boxes.
