If you earned only employment income in Québec (line 98 or line 98.1 of your return), use Work Chart 248 to calculate your deduction.

However, if you earned income from self-employment (line 27 of Schedule L), see the instructions for point 2 below.

If you entered an amount on line 96 or line 96.1, use form LE-35-V, Contribution and Deduction Related to the QPP or the CPP, to calculate your deduction. Do not enclose the form with your return, but keep it in your files in case we ask for it.
