I hear different statements regarding how to report interest income received from banks for the deposits with them and also dividends received from mutual funds, if your corporation holds units with mutual funds. On Income Statement ( Financial Statement, Schedule 125 ( GIFI codes - 8096 ( Dividends from Canadian sources ), 8094 ( Interest from Canadian Sources ), 8090 ( investment revenue ), 8097 ( Dividend from foreign sources ). These correspond to the boxes on T3 and T5 slips issued to you by the banks or mutual fund companies. You can claim non-capital losses from prior years Box 42 on T3 slip ( Cost Base Adjustment ) need not have to be reported because that is return of capital. Box 21 on T3 slip ( Capital Gains ) is 50% of the amount on this box to include on T2 return. Am I correct?. But when the commercial softwares like Quick Tax, Future Tax are not putting the dividend income into Schedule 3 when calculating the tax, they are entering this amount onto Part I tax. These softwares are cCRA certified. We need to help each other esp. where incorporated individuals frequently unemployed or in losses to help each other.

You've got field 9970 at 7:11 set as 4,050 and field 9999 is nan. However later at 12:34 you are using 4,050 as if it was 9999. Assuming this is a mistake.

Thank you for the great video! Quick question, I'm trying to download schedule 546 but I'm getting the following message on the CRA: Notice to the reader As of May 7, 2021, you will no longer be able to download this form from Canada.ca. As of May 15, 2021, you can no longer file this annual return with the Canada Revenue Agency. For updated information on filing an Ontario corporation annual return, go to Ontario Business Registry. Is there a diff. form now that we need to fill out in place of 546? Thanks in advance!

Hi, the income in your example is $3912. Is there a tax strategy where the business owner can pay themselves a bonus of $3912 thereby making taxable income $0. how would that work? Thanks

Thankyou for your video , I am filing my T2 Corp Tax returns . I actually paid GST twice to CRA by mistake. So this amt will appear in Sch 100 GIFI 1066 as Assets from this year to all subsequent years , until CRA refunds it back ?

[@anthonyvilla5596]

Excellent, step-oriented video! For Ontario business returns due after October 18, 2021, can you let us know whether there is a fillable PDF form, equivalent to the T2SCH546, that is available from an Ontario government site or must the return be prepared and filed online through Service Ontario? Thanks, again!

[@bixinchen4551]

Thanks for your video. However, we can use Profile to report corporate tax, I assume we don't need to download those forms if we have that software, but we still need to follow the same procedures?

[@homevideo5490]

Thanks. One question I have is on computer equipment (and its CCA) entry on schedule 100. It is an asset. In equity, I only have retained earning which is same as net income. But including computer equipment as asset with no corresponding liability means my books would not balance unless I include this computer equipment asset in equity. Seems I am doing something wrong but not sure what.

Effective October 18, 2021, the Ontario Business Registry is online, and Schedule 546 is discontinued, obtain your company Key by applying online, it will be mailed to you, from there you can create a login for your corporation, and file the annual return (Schedule 546 equivalent) online each year.

[@georgealbertacanadaeh1038]

Video was good for completing a hand written T2. Does anyone do this anymore with all the available T2 software available? Also you left out the part in which the owner pays himself? Reporting income and expenses is a given, but on you balance sheet it does not show any cash that the president/owner would have taken out and you did not show this also on the T2? So accordingly nobody takes a dividend?

[@joebashour]

I presume this was done for brevity and simplicity purposes. You should look up all the relevant codes for each schedule accordingly.

Hi there, back again doing corporate tax and your video is always very helpful. Just a question I'm hoping to get more clarification. For our year end it's June 1 - May 31...however on the balance sheet in Wave it does not allow for a custom date. Is it proper to do Jan 1- Dec 31 for Balance Sheet and Trial Balance?

Very good question. I spot the same issue and dig out that there is a minor calculation mistake during General tax reduction for Canadian-controlled private corporations portion calculation (Video: 15:19). The right calculation is: F=3912=H; I=J=0, Then Page 7 line 638 will be 0.

[@poxpower]

Here's a current problem with no explanation I can find. You must report "Net income/loss after taxes and extraordinaryitems". This is line 9999 on the current form. This requires that you calculate "current income taxes" ( line 9990 ). There is no line 9990 and I thought the ENTIRE POINT OF THIS was to calculate the income tax. So what do the pinheads want here? They're asking me to figure out the tax I owe so that I can figure out the tax I owe? What does this number matter anyway, I'm paying taxes on my net income after deductions. They don't need some weird estimated post-tax income for anything. So what exactly is this? Their annex in no way explains this.

[@webadventa5663]

Why are there a bunch of mistakes in your calculations? What is the point of the video if you're misinforming people with basic miscalculations and adding amounts into the wrong fields? Your T2 is a mess.
