Amending NR4 slips
After filing your information return, you may notice that you made an error on an NR4 slip. If so, you will have to prepare an amended slip to correct the information.
Notes
You are not allowed to file an amended slip in the following situations:
- Part XIII tax was deducted in error from amounts paid to a Canadian resident; or
- excessive Part XIII tax was deducted from amounts paid or credited to a non-resident.
For more information about these situations, go to Applying for a refund of tax overpayments.
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.”
For information about amending information returns using the Internet, go to Filing Information Returns Electronically (T4/T5 and other types of returns).
If you amend slips using the Internet, the CRA may contact you to find out why.
Amending slips on paper
If you choose to file your amended return on paper, clearly identify the slips as amended by writing “AMENDED” at the top of each slip. Make sure you fill out all the necessary boxes, including the information that was correct on the original slip. Send two copies of the amended slips to the non-resident.
If you have to change financial data on the amended slips, prepare and file an amended NR4 Summary showing the revised totals. Clearly write “AMENDED” at the top of the summary.
Send one copy of the amended slips and NR4 Summary, along with a letter explaining the reason for the amendment, to the International and Ottawa Tax Services Office.
Note
Any address change cannot be made by using an NR4 Summary. To change your address, contact the International and Ottawa Tax Services Office.
