Documentation to Bring to Tax Clinic Appointment

  1. All T4 (statement of Remuneration Paid) slips: you will need to get these slips from your 2012 Employer(s).
  2. All T2202A forms: these are the tuition receipts that you download off ROSI.
    *If you did not file T2202A for Tuition and Education for prior years, an adjustment must be filed to that tax year. Bring in previous year documentation.

  6. All T4RSP (Statement of RRSP Income) slips: these slips are sent if you have cashed out any portion of your RRSP.
  7. Notice of Assessment/Reassessment: this is the form to bring if you have carried forward tuition credits from past years. You will have received this in the mail last year if you filed taxes. If you did not receive it but did file taxes, you can call the CRA directly and have them give you the information on the phone. You can also request that it be sent out to you. This information is important and should be obtained where possible.
