I have a "reimbursement of Benefits paid during a previous year" where do I enter this on my taxes?

Do you have a tax slip for this repayment, or just a letter/receipt?

 

What specifically was the benefit you received?

 

Employment Insurance (EI): This must be entered via the T4E slip screen.

 

Pension/OAS: Repayments of Old Age Security are often handled on the T4A(OAS) slip.

 

Salary/Wages: If they repaid an employer for an overpayment, this goes on Line 22900 (Employment Expenses) instead.

 

Was the repayment made in the 2025 calendar year?

You can generally only claim a deduction in the year the money was actually paid back. If they paid it in Jan. 2026, it belongs on next year's return.
