Where's my T5?
Your T5 is usually mailed to you by the end of February.
You’ll receive a T5 if you earned $50 or more in interest or investment income in a non-registered account.
If you haven't received your T5:
- Check that your mailing address is up to date
- Remember, registered accounts like TFSAs (Tax-Free Savings Accounts) and RRSPs (Registered Retirement Savings Plans) don't generate T5 slips
- If you earned less than $50, you may not receive a T5
If it’s past the end of February and you're still waiting, contact us.
How else can I access my tax slips?
We send your tax slips to the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) before mailing them to you.
This means you can access them sooner with your tax advisor or through your CRA My Account Opens a new window..
