Updated January 27, 2026 for the 2025 tax year.
Before filing a 2025 Canadian income-tax return, gather the slips and receipts that apply to your income, investments, benefits, education, employment, and deductions. Most tax slips are issued by employers and financial institutions by the end of February, and many can also appear in CRA My Account after the issuer sends them to the CRA.
Common income slips
- T4: employment income, deductions, and pensionable or insurable earnings.
- T4A: pension, retirement, annuity, scholarship, RESP, and other income.
- T4E: employment-insurance benefits.
- T4RSP and T4RIF: RRSP and RRIF income or withdrawals.
- OAS and CPP/QPP slips: government pension and benefits information.
- NR4: certain Canadian-source income paid to non-residents.
Investment and other slips
- T5: interest, dividends, and other investment income.
- T3: trust income, including some mutual-fund or investment-fund distributions.
- T5007: workers’ compensation and social-assistance benefits where applicable.
- T5008: securities transactions; keep your own adjusted-cost-base records.
- T2202: eligible tuition and education amounts.
- RRSP receipts: contributions made during 2025 and during the first 60 days of 2026, where applicable.
If a slip is missing
Contact the issuer first. If you have a CRA account, check whether the slip is available there after it has been submitted. Keep your own records and do not delay filing without checking the CRA instructions for your situation.
For the 2025 return, most individuals must file and pay any balance by April 30, 2026. Self-employed individuals generally have until June 15, 2026 to file, but any balance owing is generally due April 30.
See the CRA’s 2026 tax-filing-season guidance and tax-slips information for official details.
