Welcome to Community! The new Dental Plan and associated codes have been updated in all QuickBooks products.  You will need to edit all active employee profiles to reflect the associated code. Once you've completed this process, box 45 will be visible on the T4 slips.

Follow these steps to enter the codes;

1. Navigate to the Employee Centre
