What belongs in Taxes and deductions paid year-to-date?

Where to find it: TIME MACHINE → Additional information

In the TIME MACHINE additional-information form, include income tax already withheld or paid for the current year, applicable CPP/QPP and EI deductions, and tax instalments already paid. Include withholding on retirement-account withdrawals too. Use the person’s own total and complete the spouse’s form separately.

This is money already paid, not your estimate of the full year’s final tax bill and not a second expense. TIME MACHINE calculates the year’s liability and uses this figure to determine what remains to pay or may be refunded.

Leave the field blank to request an estimate. Enter 0 only if you mean that nothing has been paid. Blank and zero have different meanings.

Enter any previous-year tax balance in its separate field.
