Live in Quebec work in Ontario Filing

[khadati]

I am a federal employee living in Quebec but working in Ontario.  I have a T4 with CPP contributions and paid RPP, and EI premiums.  I also received an RL1 with box A and J amounts and box G and I with 0.00.  Could you help explain how I should be filing the T4 and RL-1 income earned in Quebec with QPP contributions + the T4 income earned outside Quebec?  Please also clarify entry on Box 28 in the program (which I do not have a check on any of the boxes on the T4 issued).

On the T4 - Statement of Remuneration Paid (RL-1) with QPP contributions for box 28- could you confirm what option I should be selecting on the dropdown?

Hello Jack Kropf,

You are welcome.

Hi @Geo123,

I did the netfile download so T4 and RL1 were automatically filled. Do I have to delete them and follow the steps you mentioned above?

It is not clear to me, although having two T4 filled for the same employee seems weird.

Thanks,

Hello,

I also have this same situation. I live in Quebec but work for a company in Ontario. Since the company has no office in Quebec, I do not even get a RL1 from them.

I just downloaded my tax data from CRA and on the T4 it had selected "Exempt PPIP (rare)" automatically, even though there is no exemption indicated on the actual T4 I received.

I want to know if this is correct, or if this is some kind of bug in the system?

Hello ChrisE,

The tax download from the CRA is from the employer.  IF the employer slip indicates an amount then enter it.

Hello,

This is not an amount, but a check off option. There is a box on the T4 for exemptions for CPP, EI, PPIP (box 28). On the copy of the T4 I received from my employer this box is entirely blank, but when downloading the T4 from the CRA, the program shows the option for "Exempt PPIP (rare)" enabled.

So my question is, is this a result of some kind of calculation based on the fact that I live in Quebec but am employed in Ontario, or is it some kind of bug in the program.
