Workfile Build

Question

Answer

When I run the workfile build from the DREAM Writer version list, the process aborts. Nothing on the job log indicates why.

Run the workfile build from the Canadian Year-End Processing menu, not the DREAM Writer version list.

The amounts that print in Box 14 of my T4 forms are double what my employees' employment income should be. What am I doing wrong?

Taxable wages automatically print in wage boxes on the T4, so you should not add them in again.

I have employees who worked in more than one company in my organization during the year. Can I combine their amounts from all companies on the same year-end forms?

For T4 forms only:

  • If the employee changed companies and still worked in the same province, you can complete the Summarize on Tax ID field on the second Build T4/Releve Workfiles screen to summarize the information. See Defining Year-End Workfiles for more information.

  • If the employee changed companies and also changed provinces, you cannot summarize the information.

For T4A, Relevé 1, Relevé 2, and NR4 forms, you cannot summarize the information. The system creates a separate form for each company that the employee worked in.
