To use T4 Web forms
To use the T4 Web forms service, you will need your account number and your Web access code. Your Web access code was sent to you in November. If you did not receive your access code, you can retrieve it online by going to www.cra-arc.gc.ca/esrvc-srvce/rf/cd-eng.html. You can also call the CRA e-Services Helpdesk for businesses at 1-877-322-7849.
In addition, you can file your T4 information return through the My Business Account service using either T4 Web forms or Internet file transfer. You do not need a Web access code to file through My Business Account. Use My Business Account at www.cra.gc.ca/mybusinessaccount to check the status of your return, view your account balance and transactions, and more.
