What is the difference between box 18 and 19?

If I enter only 18, it tells me to go back and enter 19.

Line 18 - Employee's EI premiums
Total of box 18 from all T4 slips.

Line 19 - Employer's EI premiums
Employer's share of EI premiums (the employees' total premiums multiplied by the employer's premium rate).

assuming you are on T4, box 19 wont need to be entered, as it wont affect your tax refund, as it is the employeer's contributions
