why do the federal taxes paid not match t4 summary?

Hi there Kristine-Fay,

Thanks for reaching out about your payroll forms. QuickBooks Online is a great tool able to assist you in keeping track of deductions so you can use them to generate your T4 and Relevé 1 forms for the end of the year. I can point you in the right direction for assistance with these forms.

For help with questions regarding totals on year-end forms, I recommend reaching out to the QuickBooks Online Payroll support team outside of the Community. They'll be able to view the pay and forms in the system to help make sure all is correct. You can reach them using these steps:

Schedule a Callback or start a Chat: click (?)Help in the upper right in QuickBooks Online > type and enter "Contact support" into the QB Assistant > click Contact Us > explain your situation > click Let's Talk > choose Get a callback or Start a Chat.
Phone: dial 1-855-253-1536
