Is the question; "did you make tax instalment payments," the same as the Income tax deductions on my paycheck every fortnight?

No, it is not. Instalment payments are due quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 each tax year. The Canada Revenue Agency issues instalment reminders to people who may be required to make payments. March and June reminders are issued in February, while September and December reminders go out in August.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
