When you file tax on your employment income, you will surely stumble upon the Line 10100 tax return, formally known as Line 101 till 2019. Just like we stay updated with our credit scores, loan payments, and tax credits, it is integral to learn about different particulars of our tax forms, so as to not file anything incorrectly.
This blog will educate you about tax line 10100, and why it is a necessary part of our tax filing process.
For the upcoming tax season, your employer/ employers will provide you a T4 slip. In this slip, there is a “box 14” that reports all your employment income. The total amount shown in this “box 14” in the T4 slip is shown in line 10100. If you haven’t received the T4 slip, kindly contact your employer.
Note: The CRA line 10100 shows the employment income, but isn’t an indicator of your total income. When you file the return on Line 15000, this amount will be lower.
Besides, it is marked as the “Total Income” section in T1, and it also appears first in the Step 2 part of your territorial or provincial income return form.
If you receive income from insurance plans or additional workplace payment plans, you must include it in line 10400. For Example, you receive supplementary unemployment benefit plans, profit-sharing plans with employees, wage-earning protection programs, group term life insurance and medical premium apart from employment income. Thus, you must mention them in line 10400.

Before the 2019 tax season, these lines would be 3-4 numbers long. However, from the 2019 tax season onwards, CRA revised them to be 5 digits long. Do you need help with filing tax returns?
