Question

Manual T4 and T4A

Hi all,

Scenario: we have a few independent contractors whose earnings were assessed by CRA as pensionable and insurable (cpp/ei) for first half of 2024. We continued to treat them as independent contractors for 2nd half of 2024 because we've filed an objection on the assessment. 

Issuing T4 and T4A: logical thing to do now is to issue T4 for first half of 2024 (since it was assessed), and T4A for second half of 2024 (to be consistent with our stand on the working relationship, until the objection result comes out).

Question: We use QB payroll, the independent contractors are not set up as employees. So I can't run T4s for them. What should I do? Do I file the employee T4s using the .xml extract file from QB and go on to CRA account to file the T4 for those contractors manually? Will CRA have a problem with that? or should I file all the T4s manually (our company has less than 30 T4s + the extra few for the contractors in this case. So not an exhaustive effort required). 

Your advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Henock

Thanks for your response. I am an accountant myself and already know that I need to file the T4s and T4As for those contractors for 2024. My question was more on the technical/mechanic of how to do it in QuickBooks Desktop since the contractors were not set up as employees for the first half of the year.  

Regards

Tri
