Use the Print Forms T4 Summary Report screen to generate a report that includes the number of T4 slips to be submitted as well as employer totals for the fields on your T4 slips.
This report serves two purposes:
- To determine the number of T4 slips that you will need for your year-end activities.
- To gather the information you need to manually complete your T4 Summary, Summary of Remuneration Paid. Form T4 Summary serves as a cover sheet when you submit paper copies of your T4 slips to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Note:
- ProContractor does not support printing the T4 Summary.
- If you file T4 slips electronically, you don't need to complete a T4 Summary.
Before preparing your T4 Summary, close the last quarter of the tax year. You can do this in the Payroll Settings screen. Closing the last quarter of a tax year prevents payroll checks from being posted or voided in that year.
To open the Print Forms T4 Summary Report screen, go to .
You can control the output of the Print Forms T4 Summary Report by entering details in one or more of the following fields on the Options tab:
