The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires all employers to have T4 slips in the mail by February 28, so if you have not received yours yet, it is time to take steps to get it.

First, contact your employer. Find out when they were sent out, and if the employer has your correct address. If your T4 slip got lost in the mail, your employer will be able to give you a copy of it.

If you are unable to reach your employer, look for your pay stubs. If you can find your final pay stub, it has all of the information you need to file your taxes. Attach a note to your return explaining why you do not have a T4 slip and what steps you took to obtain one.

Employers send copies of all T4 slips to the CRA, so you can get a copy from them. It takes time for them to get all of those slips into their computer system, so you will not be able to get yours this way until sometime around the end of March or the beginning of April.

If you are still unable to get a copy of your T4 slip, you will have to estimate your earnings for the year. Check your calendar, figure out how many days you worked, and make note of your rate of pay. Attach a note to your tax return with the name and address of your employer along with any other contact information you have and an explanation of how you arrived at the amount you are reporting.

Sooner or later, the CRA will catch up with the employers who failed to issue T4 slips. By reporting the income, you will avoid being assessed Penalties and Interest when that happens.
