How do i add information in boxes J,L (R1)  & 40 (T4), so that when i'll print them, the information will be on it and will be calculated in the total amount gained (boxes A & 14) ???

Hi there:  Anything that needs to be included in the total income (and broken out into the various boxes) has to be entered through the payroll module.  So if you have taxable benefits of some kind they need to be entered in the Benefits box when doing the employees payroll.  Etc. etc.    Rita Deering

and if it wasn't entered form the beginning, is it still possible to add the amount manually?

do you have a screen shot or precise instruction!

thx

Hi again:  I use Simply Basic 2008 and as far as I know you can no longer add any amounts manually.  You used to be able to but the "fixers" at Sage (in their infinite wisdom) decided to change that a couple of updates ago.  It is literally impossible to know throughout the year what is going to need to be included on the T4, so having the option of adding amounts manually at year end before printing was a necessity.   Maybe they have "fixed" it back again in the 2009 update.  You could give Sage a call and ask them if your version allows for manual entry or not.  If not, the only way is to overwrite your amounts by hand so that they are correct.  Rita

thx Rita....

i did printed them out, would it be admissible to white-out the gain wages and add the correct amount and add the info in those boxes? will they accept it if it's half computer, half with my own writing!

last year was a mess, took me 2 weeks to finish those papers by hands!!!! not to forget that i have alot of things to do in a day. (phone/customers)

what i have to put in is medical insurance + other benefits!

i understand where it is, but you can only choose ...lets say, insurance benefits box 40, but it doesn't print anything in that box, even if the employee paid for that through out the year!

i just don't get it.....

how does that page actually work? you just pick a letter/number in the appropriate box, but why isn't it printing the amounts!??

is there somebody from Sage that can help me out?

If the employee paid for it ... let's say, insurance box 44, it is not a benefit.

The only taxable benefits you should be reporting on an employee's T4 are those paid by the employer.

for T4 : box 40

for R1 : box J & L

so it's only benefits paid by the employer.... ok.

i still need to get them in though! is it ok if i print them and correct them manually??? would the goverment accept that? doesn't look to professionnal!!!

Why don't you call CRA and ask them.
