Hello, I moved from Qc to NS on January 1st 2019. My employer made a mistake by not assigning my taxes correctly. Now I have both Federal forms and RL1. Do I enter RL1?

If you are still working for the same employer from Quebec then you will get the Releve 1 and need to complete it.

When your employer is in Québec:

I have a T4 and a matching RL-1

1. Enter the info from your T4 slip first (including your employer’s name), into the T-slips section of the Income and Expenses tab, then select the Done With T4 Slips. Amounts from your T4 are automatically transferred to your RL-1 for you since they’re often the same.
2. To review and verify your information, select Enter New Releve 1, under the Releve 1-Summary tab. Confirm the amounts in each box (changing them to match as needed), then select Save and Continue.

My employer is not in Quebec. I have not worked a single day in Quebec in 2019. I still received a RL1 because of a clerical mistake. Do I still enter my RL1 even though I have NOT worked in Quebec?

If you are sure that this RL-1 is issued by mistake then you have to contact your previous employer immediately to amend this slip. Unless this slip includes information regarding a severance package received in 2019 even if you had stopped working in 2018.

Unfortunately, you can't ignore this slip once it had reached CRA, the only one who can delete it is the employer. If you fear this is going to take a long time and you will owe an amount to CRA regardless of this slip, then you can submit your tax return with this RL-1 and Refile or adjust the return when the employer fixes the RL-1 mistake. 

I hope this was helpful

I was allowed to contact the CRA yesterday and got an answer. I’m sharing so others can benefit. Just take the amount on line E from the RL1 and add to line 22 of T-4 . Keep all supporting documents (RL1) in case of an audit.

My initial reply to your question was based on your information mentioned that your RL1 was issued by mistake. 

If this RL1- is legit, and you are NOT a QC resident > you will have to report some of the information on the related T4 slip. and check the box that you have a RL1 slip:

• Change the province on your T4 to QC
• A new Box "E" will show at the bottom of the slip > report the tax from your RL1 on Box E
• If you have Box I on your RL1 > you will have to report this amount on Box 56 on T4

I hope this was helpful
