Sage 50 Canada prints T4 and RL-1 slips with the default boxes that are mandatory. In some cases you might need to have a benefit, deduction or income print in a specific box that is not printing by default. Consult your accountant, the Canada Revenue Agency or Revenue Quebec for more information on reporting benefits and other income and deduction amounts.
The program has additional boxes that can be added to the T4 and RL-1. Those boxes are accessible in two locations:
- During the reporting process on RL-1 or T4 box Options window.
- On the Employee record on T4 and RL-1 reporting tab.
