Hi there, accounting. The error you encountered occurs when the expense accounts selected in your T4A setup don't have any transactions linked to those contractors for the year.

 

To get started, please double-check the contractor's profile to ensure their T4A slip setting is enabled and their tax details are accurate.

 

You'll also want to verify that the payments and associated transactions you made were posted to an account that feeds into the T4A report, usually an expense account for services.

 

Also, keep in mind that if a contractor’s total for the year didn’t reach the $500 mark, you're not required to issue a slip for them. You can run the T4A Contractor Info report and filter the T4A Total Amount to spot anyone with a $0 or low total.
