The Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) is a nontaxable payment available to senior Canadians who receive the Old Age Security (OAS) pension and whose income falls below a maximum annual threshold. If you received the GIS on your T4A(OAS) slip, the amount is included in box 21.
Follow the steps below to enter your GIS payments into TurboTax. Once entered, these payments are shown as social assistance income on your TurboTax return summary.
Note: If you’re a GIS recipient who also received pandemic benefits, you may qualify for a one-time nontaxable grant. Eligible seniors should have automatically received the grant in April 2022.
