Preparing Electronic Files for Canada
T4 and T4A XML Procedure
- Run the W-2 Report for the electronic file for SSA. The User ID/PIN # will be used as the submitter ref ID # (If not known, enter a 1). Be sure to fill in the phone # and magnetic media code (if not known, enter a 1).
- One file will be created.
For the T4 it is: T4001.XML
For the T4A it is: T4A001.xml - Verify this file with a parser (like Stylus Studios or some other reliable software). You can also send this file to TEAM for verification.
- If the parser comes back with errors, they must be corrected. If you need help, send the file to TEAM for correction. Once the file is error free, it can then be sent to the Canadian government.
For T4A's
You must have this Custom Setting in place.
