What is a T4A-NR Summary

The T4A-NR summary (T4A-NR-SUM) represents the total of the information reported on all of the T4A-NR slips you prepared for each recipient for the calendar year.

You can get a Form T4A-NR-SUM in a PDF or PDF fillable/saveable format to file on paper.

  • If you have no amounts to report on a T4A-NR slip or summary, there is no need to send either form to the CRA
  • Do not change your address using the T4A-NR summary. Learn more about making changes: Make changes to your account
