You must report your Social Insurance Number (SIN) in the T2202 form. Please ensure you have provided your SIN in your Student Personal Information record.

The T2202 tax slip shows eligible tuition and fees that you can claim on your personal income tax return. 

The total amount of tuition and fees you paid may not exactly match what is listed on your T2202 form because not all tuition and fees are tax deductible.

We issue T2202 tax slips for tuition paid during the calendar year — January to December. If you do not pay, then the reporting of your unpaid amounts on your T2202 will be delayed.

The Canada Revenue Agency publication Income Tax Folio S1-F2-C2: Tuition Tax Credit has more information.

We do not issue tax receipts for residence fees or meal plan payments. Residence fees cannot be claimed as rent for income tax purposes, per Ontario’s Income Tax Act, section 8, subsection (8) — Deemed occupancy cost for students.

The T4 tax slip shows amounts paid to an individual by an employer. These are also referred to as remuneration.

If you work at York, the Payroll and Human Resources unit will send you a T4, in the Employee Self Service portal’s Payroll and Compensation screen.

For more details, see the CRA publications Income Tax Folio S1-F2-C3, Scholarships, Research Grants and Other Education Assistance and Line 13010 - Taxable scholarships, fellowships, bursaries, and artists’ project grants.

OSAP and T4A Slips

You can find T4A slips from OSAP (such as Canada Student Grants) and receipts for interest paid on student loans in your National Student Loans Service Centre (NSLSC) online account.

Fee waivers and T4A Slips

Fee waivers for senior citizen students are considered scholarships.

Because tuition fee waivers for eligible dependents are considered a taxable benefit, a T4A is issued.
