2020 Income Tax Information for Students with Disabilities

It’s time to starting thinking about filing your 2020 income tax return. For more information about filing your taxes, please visit the Government of Canada website at this link: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/tax-packages-years/general-income-tax-benefit-package.html

All students — including those with a disability — need to include a T2202. The University of Saskatchewan website states that:

The T2202 reports the actual part-time or full-time enrolment status for all students, including those students with a disability. If you are eligible for the disability tax credit or had, in the year, a mental or physical impairment and a doctor has certified that you cannot reasonably be expected to be enrolled as a full-time student because of the effects of this impairment you would note this on schedule 11 of your T1 tax return. This informs CRA that you may be considered full-time for other provisions within the Income Tax Act and various provincial and territorial programs.

The University does not mail out T2202s. You can download your T2202 at this link: https://students.usask.ca/money/taxes.php#TaxReceipts

Please note that neither the University nor Access and Equity Services can provide tax advice. If you have questions, please contact a tax professional or the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
