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

Completing a return using software

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

Completing a paper 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:

Note Important
If you filed your income tax return on paper last year, you should automatically receive the income tax return package in the mail by mid-February 2024 (exceptions apply).
End of note

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).

Do you have all your slips?

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.)

Note

You will not receive the slips needed to complete your income tax return from us—it is up to the issuer of each slip to send it to you. The RL-2 slip, for example, is sent by Retraite Québec.

Whether you complete your return using software or on paper, do not include the following:

  • your receipts and other supporting documents (except where otherwise indicated).
End of note

Keeping documents

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.
