T4E box numbers (2025)
Employment Insurance and other benefits, issued by Service Canada.
The box numbers
| Box | What it is |
|---|---|
14 | Total benefits paid |
20 | Taxable tuition assistance |
22 | Income tax deducted |
30 | Benefits repaid |
These are the CRA’s own numbers, printed on the paperwork itself. The list is what KeyGlance reads for the 2025 tax year, harvested from the tax software’s own templates rather than typed from memory.
What goes wrong reading one
It carries a repayment rate and amounts repaid as well as amounts received, and those are easy to read as one figure when the slip is scanned at an angle.
Where this sits in a return
Rollover and the CRA’s Auto-fill My Return already bring down the slips an issuer files with the CRA. What neither can reach is the paperwork nobody files — receipts, rental records, self-employment logs — and that is the part still being typed by a person.
What we do about it
KeyGlance reads a client’s dropoff as it arrives and enters it into TaxCycle, Taxprep Desktop, ProFile, Taxprep Cloud or DT Max on your own Windows machine. Every figure stays linked to the spot on the page it was read from, so you check it against the document instead of retyping it. It never files anything with the CRA.
