Can I generate T4 for auto benefit for employee that wasn't paid wages in 2020?

db40 · ‎January 28, 2021

I need to generate a T4 for an employee that wasn't paid any wages in 2020. I need to add an auto benefit to Box 14 / Box 40. When I edit the T4s via Employees-->Payroll forms-->Process T4s, there is no option to add an employee that doesn't appear on the list given. Is there any way to generate a T4 to add an auto benefit, if QuickBooks desktop isn't automatically generating a T4 from wages paid? The employee is not inactivated on the employee list.

Hi db40,

It's great to hear you're using QuickBooks Desktop Payroll to help you easily navigate your tax season. The payroll module helps you create accurate T4s and also assists you with the e-filing process when needed. I'll be happy to share more on this.

Because the program pulls information from your database to produce every detail on your T4s, you won't be able to generate a T4 for an employee that wasn't paid in the previous calendar year. To do so, you'd have to manually fill out the form from the CRA's website. Here's an article that goes over what the program can do for you in terms of your T4s: T4 and Relevé-1 forms

I hope this helps! You're always welcome to stop by if you need anything else.
