I am an apprentice electrician. How do I claim expenses for equipment and clothing I use for work?

To claim other employment expenses, you must have a Form T2200 Declaration of Conditions of Employment completed and signed by your employer. Only the items listed on the form may be claimed. To find where to claim these expenses on your return follow the instructions below.

1. Select Find in the upper-right area. (The Find button becomes visible after you have completed the Introduction/Profile section.)
2. In the Find window, type “employment.”
3. Select Employment Expenses from the list of results, then select Go.
4. On the Employment Expenses step, select Yes.
5. On the Employment Expense Profile step, make the selection that best applies to your situation, then select Continue.
6. Follow the instructions that appear onscreen to enter your expenses.
