These steps also apply if you want to print T4s for an employee that’s working from two different provinces.

Check with your accountant

• Contact your accountant to determine whether the employee needs separate paycheques based on the province of employment.
• Visit the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website for guidance.
• Contact the CRA for clarification.

Preparing paycheques and T4s

Creating separate paycheques based on the primary provinces of employment

1. Create the employee twice, one employee record for each province.
2. Create the paycheques in the proper province where they've worked from.
3. Keep on an eye on their contributions for CPP and EI. When they reach the maximum, turn off the option to deduct CPP and EI from both employee records.
4. Print both T4's at the end of the year.

Creating a single employee paycheque based on the employers' location

1. Create a single employee record and set the province as the Tax Table province.
2. Do your paycheques as normal.
3. Print the T4 at the end of the year.
