2013 Income Tax Forms in EverGreen Explanatory Notes

December 15 was the official print date of the 2013 income tax forms (as contained in General Income Tax and Benefit Package for 2013) and as of that date these forms have been available in EverGreen Explanatory Notes and can be viewed, downloaded, and printed by all current self-study students as well as to EverGreen subscribers. These forms will not be available for download from the CRA website until January 3, 2014.

Along with the already announced 2.0% indexation of rates and amounts, the following changes may be of interest:

• New line 103 on page 2 to report wage loss replacement contributions made by the taxpayer
• New line 205 on page 3 to report Pooled Retirement Pension Plan (PRPP) employer contributions
• Line 208 is now used to claim PRPP employee contributions as well as RRSP contributions
• Form T2201 will be replaced (as of January 3) with two separate forms: T2201A Disability tax credit application and T2201B Disability tax credit certification by a qualified practitioner
• PRPP employee contributions are now included on Schedule 7
• Schedule 9 now includes a section for calculation of the First-time donor’s super credit (FDSC)
