T4 boxes number 83 & 84. Do we enter our public transit totals and hair care totals here?

Box 83 is used to report your gross income if you are a hairdresser.
Box 84 is used to report the cost of transit passes purchased by an employer and incuded in your income.

Do not use either of these boxes unless there are amounts reported in them on your T4s.

Otherwise report Public Transit amounts under Transit credit, which then flows to line 364 on your schedule 1.

If you are eligible to claim hair care expenses by reason of self employment or contracted employment, claim these expenses on your T2125.
