T2200 and T2200S Conditions of Employment

Updated: 2023-01-23

When and how do I complete a T2200S?

You only need to complete a T2200S Declaration of Conditions of Employment for Working at Home Due to COVID-19 if an employee intends to use the detailed calculation for employment-related expenses on the T777S when filing their T1 return.

1. When preparing your T4 slips, answer Yes to the related question on the Info worksheet to automatically create a T2200S for each new T4 slip you add in your file.
2. For slips carried forward from the prior year, answer Yes to the question on the employee’s T4 slip.
3. TaxCycle automatically creates a copy of the T2200S for employees with this option selected. Review and complete each form.

For details on calculation options for home office expenses, qualification criteria and an online calculator, see the CRA’s Home office expenses for employees page.

Create a T2200 with the T4 slip

You can create a T2200 Declaration of Conditions of Employment at the same time as you create a T4 slip:

1. In the Filing Info on the T4 slip, answer Yes to the question Create T2200 Declaration of conditions of employment.
2. A new T2200 form for the recipient appears in the T2200 section in the Prepare sidebar.
3. Employee information in Part A of the T2200 is automatically completed from the related fields on the T4 slip. The remainder of the slip contains edit fields for you to fill out.
4. Employer information at the bottom of page 2 is automatically completed with the details of the signing person listed on the Info worksheet.

If you wish to create a T2200 for each new slip you create, answer Yes to the question on the Info worksheet. This will automatically answer the question in the Filing Info section of each slip.
