There are two types of tax forms that you will find on LORIS: T2202 and your T4A.
T2202 is your Tuition and Enrolment Certificate, and has all the information you need to submit based on your eligible tuition fees for the calendar year. A T4A slip is issued when a student receives a scholarship, bursary or fellowship for the calendar year.
All tax forms are issued by calendar year. To find your tax forms:
Proxy access does not grant access to any tax documents/forms. Only the account holder can access these.
For detailed student tax information, refer to the Student Tax Guide by Canada Revenue Agency and/or consult a professional tax preparer.
Note: If you are expecting a T4 from Laurier for employment income and you have any questions or concerns, contact Payroll.
Beginning with the 2019 tax year, Canada Revenue Agency requires that each student’s SIN is reported on their T2202 Tuition and Enrolment Certificate, which details your eligible tuition amounts for Canadian tax filing.
For SIN information entered into LORIS after Feb. 19, 2023, your SIN will not be on your 2022 tax form. If you are requested by CRA for a T2202 tax form with your SIN, contact Service Laurier to request an amended tax form.
Make sure you disable your pop-up blocker when opening your tax forms as they will open in a new browser window. Your tax forms will always be under your LORIS account, even when you are no longer a student at Laurier.
LORIS will give you the option to View or Print your T2202 form.
If you choose the Print option and do not print the form, the next time you choose Print, the form will be marked as a duplicate. This is still acceptable to use for filing.
You may submit the T2202 as received even if the address is incorrect. Although it is not
necessary for you to attach the T2202 form when you file your tax return, you should be able to
produce one when requested by Revenue Canada.
Requests for student SIN are sent out monthly prior to when T2202 tax forms are produced. If you have not submitted your SIN, you can request an amended T2202 form. Students must have already entered or updated their SIN on LORIS prior to making the request for an amended tax receipt to Service Laurier.
Requests for an amended T2202 or T4A tax form can take between two to four weeks.
Amended tax forms are generally required if there has been a change since your first T2202 tax form was posted. This can include SIN information that was missing that has now been provided or payments from a previous term that were unpaid but are now paid in full.
Laurier will not automatically issue tax receipts from previous years where fees were not paid in full. If you have recently paid off unpaid balances from a previous year, you will need to request an amended tax form.
If you require an amended T2202 tax form please contact Service Laurier.
Requests for an amended T2202 tax form can take between 2-4 weeks.
If you require an RL-8, contact Service Laurier to request one.
Qualifying months indicate the status of the student for each month of the calendar year. The status (F=full-time or P=part-time) is determined by instructional hours for undergraduate students.
For some students, September, December and possibly April and May, may not have the requisite hours to count towards those months:
No, student's in non-credit programs (LEAF and pre-MBA) do not receive T2202 tax forms.
Please reach out to your specific program to inquire if a T2202 will be issued for you.
There are three different departments that may send you a T4 and/or T4A tax form.
T4A for scholarships/awards/bursaries:
If you are inquiring about amounts entered in any Box other than Box 105, please contact one of the following departments:
T4 and/or T4A for student employment at Laurier:
For Laurier-owned residences and buildings, these are not eligible for claiming and therefore no tax forms are issued to the student. If a student is not provided a tax form for their residence, they should NOT file a claim for them. Laurier does not pay taxes on these residences and therefore are not eligible to be claimed.
For any residences that ARE claimable, Residential Services will have issued tax forms directly to students. Please connect with Housing (housing@wlu.ca) to see if your residence was one that a form was issued for.
We do not have a U.S. Federal ID Number. American students can use the T2202 to file their U.S. tax return, the university does not issue 1098T tax receipts.
The amount of the T2202 is for charges assessed and paid by calendar year of when the term occurred, not when the student submitted payment for the term.
For example: If winter 2021 fees were paid in December 2020, that payment will not be part of the 2020 T2202 eligible claimable amount. That will be provided on your 2021 T2202 tax form because the charges were for 2021.
Determining eligiblity for the DTC is between Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and the individual. Insitutions do not determine this and as such, cannot make modifications to T2202s to address a student's disability or provide advice or counsel on how to claim the DTC.
In addition, please note that being registered with an institution's Accessible Learning Centre does not automatically indicate that a student is eligible to claim the DTC.
For further assistance with regards to your T2202 and claiming the DTC, students are encouraged to connect with a professional tax preparer.
