2025 Quebec Personal Tax Checklist: What You Must Prepare Before Filing Your T1 & TP1 Returns
Tax season in Quebec is stressful—especially when you don’t know exactly which documents you need for your T1 (federal) and TP1 (provincial) returns. Missing just one slip can delay your refund, trigger a CRA/RQ review, or cause you to leave money on the table.
This 2025 Quebec Personal Tax Checklist breaks down every document you need, why you need it, and what most taxpayers forget. Use it before filing your return with Accotec Accounting Solution Inc. to avoid costly mistakes.
1. Employment Income: Slips You MUST Have
These are the first documents CRA/RQ will expect. Missing them is a guaranteed review.
T4 – Employment income
RL-1 – Quebec employment income
T4A – Commissions or pension income
RL-2 – QPP, Quebec pension, retirement income
Relevé 22 – Union dues (if applicable)
2. Self-Employed or Small Business Income
If you operate a business—even small side income—you must report:
Income summary (sales, invoices, e-commerce statements)
Expense receipts (gas, tools, cellphone, supplies)
Home office expenses
Vehicle mileage log
Bank or credit card statements for proof
Most taxpayers get audited here because of missing receipts.

Most people don’t even know these exist:

Childcare expenses + RL-24 slip
Student tuition fees (T2202 + RL-8)
Union/professional dues (CPA dues are deductible)
