AOB8 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 My wife did some work for a private company - separate from her regular (full time) employer. The company issued her a T4 slip. The income on the slip is $214.97. Box 16 Employee's CPP Contributions is blank. UFile is telling me she has employment income but not exempt from paying CPP contributions. How do I correct this if that information is not provided? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pupuch06 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Hello, On box 28, you need to select "exempt CPP/QPP". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOB8 Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Thanks for the quick response. However, Box 26 - CPP Pensionable earnings is filled out with $214.97 on the T4. UFile states the discrepancy and ignores the amount for CPP Pensionable earnings. I just want to make sure I should put that amount as exempt. I know it's difficult to answer these types of questions without seeing all of the information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pupuch06 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hello, If you have an amount on box 26, you should have an amount on box 16 as well. I suggest that you contact the employer to ensure that there is no error on the slip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen001 Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 I am having the same problem ufile cannot calculate my tax return due to this error “You have employment income and are not exempt from paying CPP/QPP contributions. You should normally enter your CPP contributions (Box 16) or QPP contributions (box 17)in your T4 slip.” I tried to put exempted in box 28 but still getting error. Box 16 is empty. Until now I can’t file my tax return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen001 Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Contacted my employer and says they that box 16 is really empty. My earnings in the other employer is just $375. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo123 Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 HelloCitizen001, T4 slip - Box 28 - Exempt (CPP/QPP, EI, PPIP) If the mention "Exempt CPP/QPP", "Exempt EI", or "Exempt PPIP" is displayed in box 28 of your T4 slip, simply select the item "T4 and employment income" from the "Left side menu on the Interview tab", and in the page "T4 slip income", for "Box 28 - exempt (CPP/QPP, EI, PPIP)", choose the appropriate exemption in the drop-down menu located to your right. If you need to enter another exemption, click on the "+" sign located on the far right of the screen to add another box 28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
