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.
