How to create T4's for employees who move to a different province during the year - AB & ON

Question

Please advise on the procedure to create T4's for employees that moved from Alberta to Ontario during the calendar year. Should I create 2 employee profiles, one for AB and one for ON?

C White · Accepted Answer

T4's should ALWAYS be issued based on where the employee WORKED, regardless of where they live. So, if you only operate in Alberta, you will only issue an Alberta T4 slip, regardless of where the employee lives. 
 If you have operations in both Alberta and Ontario, then you will need to issue 2 T4 slips - one with province of employment AB and one with province of employment ON. Unfortunately, the only way to do this is to have 2 employee profiles, as you suggest. The trick here is that Sage does not realize that the 2 employees are the same person, so you will have to watch yourself for CPP and EI maximums. 
 
 p.s. Alwyn is correct that the place of residence on December 31 is important - but not for you as the employer. The province of residence at Dec 31 determines which province's tax return the employee has to file.
