Description

Resolution

Select the form:

 

  1. From the Payroll Tasks menu, select eFile and Reporting.
  2. Select T4 Official Form, select the reporting Year, and click Next.
  3. In the Employees to Process window, clear the check box for employees you do not want to process a T4 form for and then click Next, and then click Generate.
    Note: T4 forms will only generate for employees with wages in the reporting year. You will not need to clear the check box for employees with zero wages.
  4. If prompted, select the applicable T4 form and click Next.

Verify Company Information:

  1. Verify your Federal Employer ID number and then click Next.
  2. Verify your company information and then click Next.
  3. If you need to combine multiple files into a single T4 run, select Yes, I use multiple data files for this EIN. If all of the employee totals are stored in a single payroll file, select No, I use a single payroll data file for this EIN, and then click Next.
    Note: If you have multiple locations to file, see How do I generate a T4 if I have multiple locations?

Verify employee information and totals:

  1. Verify the employee information on the left side of the T4 Preparer Grid. Make necessary corrections and click Next Step.
  2. If needed, assign a Province to Box 24/26. To do this:
    1. Right-click on the column header and choose Assign Province.
    2. Select your province from the drop-down menu and click OK.
  3. Verify the T4 Box totals for each employee. Make necessary corrections and click Next Step.
    Note: Aatrix tax forms will allow you to correct amounts accumulated when processing payroll. These changes will not flow through to your accounting data. If any amounts are incorrect, it is recommended to close Aatrix and make any necessary corrections in Payroll, then generate your T4 forms again.

Print and/or eFile your forms:

  1. Select the applicable options for printing and/or eFiling your forms, then click Next.
  2. Review the forms that will generate in the Review Data window. If you would like to print the list, click Print. Click Next.
  3. Review your T4 slips. If corrections need to be made, close the window and start over. If the forms are correct, follow the prompt at the top of the screen to print copies, then click Next Step.

eFile your forms using the Aatrix eFile center:

  1. If you have not enrolled with Aatrix, click Enroll to launch the Aatrix eFile Center. Click Enroll and follow the prompts to set up your account. After completing the steps to setup your account, on the Aatrix Secure eFile - EIN NOT ENROLLED window click I have Enrolled and have my Login ID.
  2. If you have an account with Aatrix, the Aatrix Secure eFile - Login window will display. Enter your Username and Password and click Login.
  3. Follow the prompts to complete the eFiling process.
