Step 1: Generate Employee T4s

Year-end can be hectic, but Humi Payroll makes it easier by streamlining the T4 creation and filing process—one less thing on your to-do list!

Our Year-End Payroll Guides are packed with tips to help you out. Humi generates your employee T4s and can file them with the CRA for you once you’re ready.

Prefer to file them yourself? No problem—you can download and submit them manually.

This guide will show you how to generate, review, and submit T4s to the CRA. The steps are the same each year—just select the relevant tax year and follow along!

How to Generate Employee T4s

1. In Payroll, click on the Records tab and select Tax Returns.
2. Click on the 2024 Annual Return.
3. In the Employer tax packages section, click the Generate T4s button. This will generate your year-end tax package. If you've already generated the tax package, proceed to step 3.
   
   You must assign Federal Dental Benefits codes (Box 45) to your employees before generating your T4s to avoid an error message.
4. Once you've generated your T4s, you'll see an item named 2024 Annual T4 Return showing an Open status. This means the tax package is ready for your review.
5. Scroll down to the next section, Employee tax forms, to review your Employee T4s and then you'll be ready for Step 2: Reviewing Employee T4s.

How to View T4s from Previous Years

You can easily see all T4s from previous years by clicking on the dropdown menu and selecting the year you want to review.
