Your federal and Québec tax slips

Your tax slips and receipts are prepared and issued by an employer, payer, or administrator to report information such as amounts paid to you, any income tax deducted, amounts that are eligible for a tax credit or deduction, amounts you’ve paid a service provider, amounts that need to be repaid, and more.

As a resident of Québec, you’ll not only receive a federal information slip but also a corresponding Québec relevé slip; both of which need to be entered into H&R Block’s 2017 tax software when filing your tax return.
