In the pop-up, you can see that the bar code contains the following personal information:

• SIN (870001484)
• birthdate (19430715)
• province or residence (AB - twice)
• spouse's SIN (870001716)
• spouse's name (Abig, short for Abigail)
• taxpayer's name (Thomas A Sims)
• an address
• a postal code

1. The rest of the information is line numbers followed by values, and separated by dashes. For instance, 101125081 means line 101 contains a value of $125,081.
2. Most of the fields are dollars only, except for fields that appear with dots to the right. These values are shown including cents. For instance, line 437 has a dot beside it on page 4 of the T1 Jacket. Thus, 4371957977 means that line 437 has a value of $19,579.77.
