WHAT DO I BRING TO MY TAX CLINIC APPOINTMENT?
FINDING YOUR TAXES
​To file your taxes, you will first need to locate all of your tax slips. In general, anytime you get paid by an employer or receive a benefit/pension you should be issued a tax slip. Common tax slips can be found through:
​
Your employer should mail (or post online) your employment-related tax slips (i.e. T4) to you by the end of February. If they have not done so, they should be able to provide them to you upon request.
​
Carleton Central
Your T2202 and T4A slips can be found through Carleton Central by following this guide. Note: a T2202 slip specifies how much tuition a student paid during the year and is necessary to apply for the tuition tax credit. A T4A slip will only be issued to Carleton students who received a scholarship.
​
Online Bank Account
If you have investments or interest income, you can find your T5 slip through your online bank account or broker.
CRA My Account
If you have a CRA My Account, then you can access your tax slips by logging in and clicking on "Tax information slips (T4 and more)". If you do not have a CRA My Account, then you can set one up with your SIN number, date of birth, postal code, and information from a prior year's tax return (i.e. what is on line 10100 of your 2022 tax return).
