After T4’s have been remitted, either by mail or by upload to CRA, you may need to amend or cancel them due to an error.
Only T4’s marked with the remitted status can be amended or cancelled. Edit the T4 to be changed and select ‘Amended’ or ‘Cancelled’ as the new status.
A cancelled T4 MUST stay exactly as it was, apart from the ‘Cancelled’ status setting. Once edited and saved, the T4 can be printed or uploaded to CRA again.
If multiple T4s need to be amended, such as if new timecards were posted for last year and alter the values for the remitted employee T4s, it may be more efficient to use the Generate T4 Amendments procedure to create all amendments at once. When the original T4s for the most recent tax year have been marked as remitted, use this function that can be found on a drop-down of the Generate T4s button to have Spire re-read the employee tax data and create Amended T4s where corrections are noticed.
After creation, you can choose to either keep or delete the records, and you may need to edit the Amended records if manual corrections had been done to the respective Original T4.
