I don’t think I got T4 for it (federal elections) and that is the reason I forgot as I just put all tax slips in a bag and at tax time just use all. How do I correct the returns now? I looked at T1 Adjustment and not sure how I mention on it that I am reporting election Canada income. Do I need to report total income there or just this additional income. Can I do it through Studio Tax and file this adjustment through it electronically. Luckily tax filing deadline this year is still few weeks away so I guess I don’t have to pay any penalty.

Lastly how do I find what I was paid and if they did any deductions. I have heard that CRA sometimes correct your return if they find such mistakes but they didn’t do it in my case and I got the refund I was expecting.

Alternatively, if you have a CRA MyAccount you could do an online adjustment request, or mail in the form to which you referred. But Refile is likely the easiest.

How do you determine how much you got paid? Did you deposit a cheque and if so can you check your bank statements? Failing that you could try contacting whoever paid you, whether it's Elections Canada or you local returning office.
