How to Prepare Cancelled CRA Tax Slips

As you cancel CRA tax slips, remember that you’ll be cancelling slips that have already been distributed to the recipients and submitted to the CRA, so you’ll be working with slip data that already exists in eForms, not adding or importing new slip data.

Here's how to do that:

1. Open the slip in eForms - FORMS > CRA FORMS > slip type > SLIPS
2. Cancel the existing slip - Use the search icon, , to locate the slip to cancel
   1. Change the status of the slip to "Cancelled"
   2. DO NOT make any changes to the existing slip data
   3. If this is not your first cancelled submission, also select “Special electronic filing” under the “Advanced” (or "Page 2") tab to exclude previously cancelled slips from the current XML submission
3. Process the XML return - ELECTRONIC FILING > CANADA REVENUE AGENCY
   1. Select "cancelled" as the slip status in Step 4 to include only cancelled slips in the XML submission
   2. If this is not your first cancelled submission, also select “Only process slips selected for special e-filing on the Advanced tab” in Step 4 to exclude previously cancelled slips from this XML submission
4. Print the recipient slips - REPORTS > CRA REPORTS > slip type > SLIPS
   1. Select "cancelled" as the status to ensure you print only the cancelled slips; or
   2. Select each slip to print from the list of recipients; or
   3. Print each slip individually - Use the print icon, , while viewing the slip in eForms

And you're finished!
