If you receive benefits from a Wage Loss Replacement Plan such as Short-Term Disability (STD), Long-Term Disability (LTD), or Weekly Indemnity (WI), you will receive a T4a and report these amounts on Line 10400 of your tax return.

 

How do you enter a T4A slip for the TurboTax online edition:

  1.   Select the image of the magnifying glass (or Find) in the upper-right area of TurboTax.
  2. Enter “T4A” in the Find window.
  3. Select T4A Pension, Retirement, Annuity from the list of results, and then select Enter new T4A.
  4. Enter your amount to box 107.

See Below:

Please check out the Canada Revenue Agency article: Wage loss Replacement Plan

The union said I will not get a T4 or any form because no tax was taken off.

So would I have to claim the income from the payments?
