Filing Information Returns Electronically

Internet filing is available from January 9, 2017.

You must file information returns by Internet if you file more than 50 information returns (slips) for a calendar year.

For more information about filing requirements and the electronic filing methods available, see Filing Information Returns Electronically.

Filing on paper

If you file 1 to 50 T5 slips, we strongly encourage you to file over the Internet using Web Forms or Internet file transfer. However, you can still file up to 50 T5 slips on paper.

Complete one copy of the T5 slip for each recipient and send them with your T5 Summary. Enter the information for three different recipients on one sheet. This will let us process your information return faster. You must keep a copy of the T5 slips and the T5 Summary for your files.

After you complete your paper return, mail it to:

Ottawa Technology Centre
PO Box 9633, Station T
Ottawa ON K1G 6H3

Filing using computer-printed (customized) forms

For those who complete a large number of slips, we accept certain slips other than our own. To ensure accuracy, follow the guidelines for the production of customized forms or see Information Circular IC97-2R16, Customized Forms.
