Since 2015, Service Canada has issued T4A(P) slips for Child Benefits directly to children. If you've received a T4A(P) slip in your child's name, follow these steps to report it correctly:

1. Do not include the T4A(P) slip in your own Canada Pension Plan/Québec Pension Plan Benefits section
2. Navigate to the Your Dependants section in your tax profile
3. Find the entry for the child who received the T4A(P)
4. Enter the amount from the T4A(P) in the "Net income" (or Federal net income if you're filing a Québec return) field for that child

Important notes:

• Your child usually doesn't need to file their own tax return for this income
• Only in specific situations would your child need to file their own return

Remember:

• Always enter the amount exactly as it appears on the T4A(P) slip
• This process ensures the income is correctly attributed to your child for tax purposes

If you're unsure whether your child needs to file their own tax return, consider consulting with a tax expert. If you need assistance entering this information in Wealthsimple Tax, please contact Wealthsimple support.
