The information on this page will help you complete your income tax return.

If you want to complete your return using software, make sure the software you use is authorized for filing the personal income tax return.

To complete your return on paper, you will need the income tax return package (TP-1.FG-V), which includes the guide, return and schedules.

To get one:

• Pick one up from one of our offices or from a Services Québec office (starting at the end of February 2024).
• Use the online service for ordering forms and publications (starting at the end of January 2024).
• Print the documents you need from the Income Tax Return, Schedules and Guide page.

When completing an income tax return using our paper forms, follow the instructions below.

• Use blue or black ink.
• Remember to sign and date your return and to provide your telephone number(s).

You should have received all the slips needed to file your tax return by late February. However, the RL-15 slip (see courtesy translation RL-15.EX-T) and the RL-16 slip (see courtesy translation RL-16-T) do not have to be sent to you until the end of March.

Refer to your RL slips to find out where in the return to report the information shown on them. (For information in English, see the courtesy translations of the RL slips available here on our website.)

If you do not have access to your RL slips and information slips or to information regarding your instalment payments or interest we paid you, you have two options:

• You can download some of your tax data using authorized software. You will need to provide the notice number from your most recent notice of assessment, your social insurance number and your date of birth.
• You can consult your tax data using the online service in My Account for individuals.

You must keep all your slips and supporting documents (paper or electronic) in case we ask for them. As a rule, you are required to keep them for six years following the taxation year to which they relate. See What to Do with Your RL Slips, Receipts and Other Supporting Documents for more information.

If you want to keep a copy of the schedules for your records:

• photocopy them;
• photograph or scan them; or
• print and complete the schedules available on the Income Tax Return, Schedules and Guide page.

If you need help completing your return, refer to:
