Types of tax forms

The university provides two types of tax receipts: T2202 and T4A. Each form serves a different purpose and is issued based on your activity during the tax year. Your eligibility depends on factors such as:

  • The tuition and fees you paid during that calendar year (T2202), and
  • Whether you received scholarships, bursaries, or awards (T4A).

These forms help you accurately report your education‑related amounts when filing your income tax return.


T2202's

A T2202, or Tuition and Enrolment Certificate, is an official Canadian tax receipt issued by post-secondary institutions, allowing students to claim eligible tuition fees for tax credits. 

The T2202 includes eligible tuition fees and education amounts and is based on the calendar year in which courses were taken. In accordance with CRA regulations, T2202 forms are only issued for tuition fees totaling $100 or more. Materials and administrative fees are not eligible for a tax deduction.
 


T4A's

A T4A slip reports income from many different sources. As a student, your T4A slip will report the scholarship or bursary income you received while you were enrolled at the University of Manitoba. Generally, you’ll only receive a T4A slip from the payer of these income sources if the total of the payments was more than $500 in the year or if income tax was deducted from the payments. If you receive more than one T4A slip, be sure to report each one separately on your return. 

In any case where a T4A needs to be adjusted, an amendment will be submitted to Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Obtain the updated copy through your CRA portal.

Verify your Social Insurance Number

All post-secondary institutions must record an individual's Social Insurance Number (SIN) on a T2202 form and report it to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). It is mandatory that you update your SIN in Aurora.

You will need to verify your Social Insurance Number (SIN) and mailing address in Aurora for your Canadian tax forms.

You can verify your Social Insurance Number through your Aurora account.

Log into Aurora and locate the "Verify my SIN card" to confirm your information is correct. If you are unable to update an incorrect SIN, contact the Registrars.Office@umanitoba.ca for assistance.

If your SIN is incorrect on yourT2202form, and you have already updated it through Aurora, then you must contact the Registrar's Office to have the change reflected on your T2202. An amended T2202 will be made available to you. 

If your SIN is incorrect on your T4A, and you have already updated it through Aurora, contact Supplier Payment Services at ASK-SPS@umanitoba.ca to have the change amended with Canada Revenue Agency. 

Canada Revenue Agency accepts T4A slips with a blank SIN, a SIN of '000 000 000', or SINs beginning with a 9 (issued to temporary residents). As a result, T4A slips will not be reissued in those cases if there is a subsequent change.

Students registered with student accessibility services (SAS)

The University of Manitoba will record student status based on hours of study per month for all students when preparing the T2202, therefore,  if you are registered in a part-time course-load, your T2202 will reflect part-time months regardless of an approved reduced course-load accommodation.

Students who meet the Canada Revenue Agency criteria for claiming full-time student status may obtain supporting documentation from Student Accessibility Services to accompany the T2202.
