I have a question that is confusing me regarding T4-RL1 slip from Quebec. I have a first-time client who worked the first three months of the year in Quebec and received a T4-RL1 and then moved to Ontario until now and received another T4 slip from the same employer but in the province of Ontario. …

It would be very peculiar for the Quebec tax withheld on the Releve 1 to be equal to the federal tax withheld on the T4. Double check the Releve 1 tax withheld.

The $18491.70 you see on T4 is tax taken at the federal government only. Nothing there for Quebec tax deduction. It only indicates the income was earned while working in Quebec. From what I can see from your screenshot, you manually added the $3498.17 in box E on the RL-1. You will need to see the…

Here is the RL-1. The amount in box E is evern higher than the amount I entered. [image]

Yes that’s correct in most of these cases.

Enter the amounts as they are shown on both the T4 and RL1 slips, and taxcycle will correctly apply the Québec tax towards the federal amount withheld when the taxpayer is not a resident in Québec on Dec 31. That is how it is supposed to account for the Québec tax withheld.

Thanks for your reply. But isn’t the tax payer getting double pay for the taxes from Quebec? $3498.17 T4-Quebec + $14,993.53 ONT-T4 = $18,491.70 Plus $4080.80 again from RL-1 = $22,572.50 I am just making sure as I never had this situation before. [image]

No because the T4 (QC) box 22 is only the federal tax withheld, which does not include the provincial (QC) tax withheld. The RL1 box E is only for the Québec tax withheld, which does not include the federal tax withheld. If that taxpayer was a QC resident on Dec 31, the T4 tax would get applied to …

Line 43700 – Total income tax deducted - Canada.ca This page provides information on the total income tax deducted line 43700. [image]

Ok. So you are saying the amount in box 12 for Quebec income tax deducted stay as $4080.80 and the total taxes to claim in line 43700 are $22,572.50 as I had in the screenshot.

Claim what you see on the RL on the Quebec return and the amount from the T4 on the T1 Canadian return.

T4 - rl!
