INCOME TAX FORMS FOR STUDENTS
T2202A
Print your form through uoZone portal, under the "My finances" tab. This form will be available at the beginning of January. Note that you don't have to include this form with your income tax; you submit it only if the government asks for it later on.
Remember that the T2202A isn't an official receipt, but rather a confirmation of the deductible fees for a given fiscal year. Only the fees you have actually paid or have covered in a formal financial agreement (for example, a promissory note) appear on your T2202A.
For more information on your income tax return, consult the Canada Revenue Agency website.
T4A
You receive a T4A slip if you obtained awards or bursaries from the University of Ottawa during the fiscal year (even if the funds come from other agencies or organizations). The slips will be available, online on the secured portal uoZone, at the end of February.
Additional information are available with the Canada Revenue Agency: Students and Income Tax : http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pub/tg/p105/.
"RL-8 slip" (Quebec residents)
The RL-8 slip is a tax form of the Ministère du Revenu du Québec and is intended for Quebec residents. Print your form through uoZone portal, under the "My finances" tab. The RL-8 will be available at the beginning of January.
A
credit for full-time post-secondary studies is determined on the basis
of the number of sessions that the student started in the year and
completed. The amount is to be claimed in the income tax return of
the person claiming the student as a dependant (generally the student's
father or mother). This amount does not constitute tuition fees.
The RL-8 slip is available on InfoWeb,
under Finance - Awards. To obtain a RL-8 slip by mail, submit your
request by email at infoservice@uOttawa.ca, by phone at 613-562-5700 or in person at InfoService (75 Laurier
Avenue East, Ottawa).
Employer Identification Number (EIN) (required by the United States)
The Employer Identification Number of the University of Ottawa is 98-0654654.
Also known as Federal Tax Identification Number (FTIN), it will be required of American students who must provide information on the amounts they receive from abroad in their tax return.
INFORMATION
The University does not provide tax advice. Whether you may take advantage of these tax credits depends upon your personal circumstances and information which is known only to you. For more information on your income tax return, consult the Canada Revenue Agency website.
