Hi Annie H1,

There isn't an amount that needs to be entered in Box 45 as these codes are not categorized by QuickBooks.  Follow this link to learn more.  In addition, there currently isn't a report that shows the Dental plan code associated with each of your employees.  You'll need to review this on the individual employee profiles.  However, with this being a new addition, you can submit a suggestion to the Development Team for future updates and feature enhancements. 

I hope you find this helpful!

Hi Trish

I think it would have been helpful to have some graphics or something of where this information would appear and what format it would take.  Any other time I've needed to report to CRA on deductions or whatever, they want an amount.  I'd say this whole thing has been really poorly presented by CRA and by QB.  Bit frustrated here for sure!!

So, how do you get the calculation for Box 45, if you don't enter the dollar amounts in the employer contributions?

I am using desktop and have the same question. Box 45 does not appear in the drop-down

QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) doesn't support the direct calculation and handling of Box 45, LS Charity. Let me explain this further.

Box 45 is used to indicate whether an employee or their family is eligible for dental care services. To calculate this contribution, you must enter the amount in Box 14. For accurate calculations, I recommend consulting a tax professional who can provide the most precise information.

Since this is unavailable, you can consider manually filing this information to ensure all details are reported to your agency. For more information, please check out this article: T4 slip: Statement of Remuneration Paid.
