After filing your information return, you may notice an error on the T5008 slips. If so, you will have to prepare amended slips to correct the information.

Amending slips over the Internet

To amend a slip over the Internet, change only the information that is incorrect and retain all of the remaining information that was originally submitted. Use summary report type code “A” and slip report type code “A.”

To cancel a slip, do not change any information that was contained on the original slip. Use summary report type code "A" and slip report type code "C."

For more information about amending or cancelling information returns using the Internet, go to Filing Information Returns Electronically.

Amending slips on paper

If you chose to file your amended return on paper, clearly identify the new slips as amended by writing “AMENDED” at the top of each slip. Make sure you fill in all the necessary boxes, including the information that was correct on the original slip. Send two copies of the slips to the recipient.

Send one copy of the amended or cancelled slips with a letter explaining the reason for the amendment or cancellation to your tax centre. Do not file an amended T5008 Summary.
