I need to amend my T4s and T4As as my business name was missing info and I called CRA and they said I need to amend them.

Hi there lehla,

 

It's important to have the correct company name when filing annual forms with the government. QuickBooks Online has the option to edit your legal business name to then be able to regenerate those forms. I'd be happy to show you how to make this change in your account.

 

In order to modify the Legal Name of your business in QuickBooks Online, you'd navigate to the Gear Icon in the top right corner of your screen, then select Account and Settings. Click on the Pencil Icon located to the right of Company Name, and you'll be able to change the Legal Name of your company by unchecking the box that says Same as company name and typing the correct one instead. Make sure you hit the Save button after finishing your edit.

 

After having made that switch, you'll be able to regenerate your T4 forms by going into the Taxes module in the left menu, then choosing the Payroll taxes section. Select the Annual Forms and you'll see the name change on them. As for the T4As, you can run them once again by choosing Expenses in the left column, then Suppliers. In the top of the screen, you'll see the option to Prepare Tax Slips. Here are a few more resources I found useful for preparing year-end tax forms in QuickBooks Online:

I'm happy to help, so if you have any more questions feel free to reach out in the comments.

I must have done something wrong and now I need to amend a couple T4's.  When I did the bonus, I noticed that it again deducted employees the RRSP - so I went in QB and zero'ed those out.  But I did not zero out the employer amount only the employee amount.  Then when I did the remittance for RRSP I noticed the employer amount was wrong and so I made a JE to zero the bonus employer amounts out.  Now when I am doing the T4's the box 14 is correct but box 13 and 26 both have the "employer amt that I did JE in it' so they are overstated.  How do I amend this - or did I code the JE wrong, or is this an error from when I zeroed out the amount on bonus cheque?
