After completing all the edits, click on the Finalize and Submit button.
On the next page, you'll need to check the boxes to acknowledge these two things before you can proceed:
- You've reviewed and verified that your T4s are accurate and up to date.
- You acknowledge that changes cannot be made after T4s are submitted and that if changes are needed, you will need to submit an Amendment.
Once you've acknowledged each item, you will see the option to Submit T4s to the CRA. Here you have two options:
- Humi will submit T4s to the CRA on your behalf.
- If you would prefer to submit the T4s to the CRA independently, click the box that says, "I do not want Humi to submit to the CRA on my behalf."
This article will explain what happens in each scenario.
What Happens When Humi Submits T4s to the CRA for You
When you click the Finalize and submit button, the T4s will go into a Processing status.
That means they’re in our queue and ready to be submitted to the CRA. Please be aware that it might take 1-2 business days for Humi to complete the submission.
T4s Must Be Submitted By February 23, 2025
For Humi to guarantee submission to the CRA by the February 28, 2025 deadline, you must finalize and submit your T4s by Sunday, February 23, 2025.
If you submit your T4s after this date, Humi will attempt to submit them before the deadline, but we can’t guarantee on-time submission.
Once Humi has completed the submission, the CRA submission date and the confirmation number will appear on the T4 Submit page.
Once all employee T4 slips have been submitted, click the Send T4s to Employees button. This will send a secure T4 PDF file to each employee's email address based on the contact information in their employee profile.
We also recommend downloading a copy of the T4s for your records by clicking Download tax package button.
What Happens When You Choose to Submit T4s Yourself
If you prefer to submit T4s to the CRA independently, click on the box that says, "I do not want Humi to submit to the CRA on my behalf."
When you click on this box, you'll see a brief overview of the steps required to submit the document to the CRA.
Click Confirm and proceed to continue.
The CRA Requires an XML File
The T619 is downloaded as an XML file because the CRA requires this format for uploading it to its website.
You may have trouble opening this file on your computer to view its contents. However, you can view its contents on the T4 Summary in Humi.
Steps to file T4s
- Click Download XML to download the file you must submit to the CRA.
- Click the Internet File Transfer Option link in Step 2 to go to the CRA’s website.
- After uploading the file to the CRA, enter the confirmation number in Humi and click Save Confirmation Number. Once saved, the CRA submission date and confirmation number will appear on the T4 Submit page.
- Once all employee T4 slips are submitted, click Send T4s to Employees. This sends a secure T4 PDF to each employee’s email, using the contact information in their employee profile.
- Don’t forget to download a copy of the T4s for your records by clicking Download Tax Package.
