Bonus payments that were not mentioned in T4

I am a full-time employee of my own business. Sometimes my clients send me bonus cheques at the end of the year but they send it to my company instead of myself.

 

In 2020, I transferred some of this bonus cheques to my personal account first and then to my RRSP. I failed to inform my accountant so this additional income is not mentioned in my T4.

 

How should I reflect this income in my personal income tax return when I file it thru turbotax?

 

Thanks,
