Your T5007 slip reports the income you received during the year from sources like worker’s compensation, social assistance, and the senior supplement (or guaranteed income supplement).
While generally non-taxable, the income reported on your T5007 is used to calculate your eligibility to receive certain federal and provincial credits (for example, the GST/HST credit and the Child Tax Benefit).
Remember: If you are also filing a Québec return, you must report your corresponding Relevé 5 slip.
Tax Tip: If you lived with a spouse or common-law partner and you received social assistance payments during the year, the spouse with the higher income must be the one to report the assistance payments, even if their name isn’t on the slip. If your net income is identical, the person whose name appears on the slip must be the one to report the benefits.
