To help you organize your paperwork and know more about timelines, we’ve created a table to list the different types of tax receipts and slips we prepare, and when they’re available online, and sent out in the mail.
In addition, to answer some of your questions, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has put together this listing of tax slips that includes:
- descriptions of income each tax slip represents
- information about why you need to include them when preparing your annual tax return

Question:
For tax purposes, I need a report that lists all the health and dental expenses my benefits plan paid for – plus amounts I paid out of pocket – for the whole year. Where is that report, and how do I get a copy of it?
Answer:
It’s called a Claims history report or Claims summary report. It’s available once you log in to your secure account.
After you log in, please follow these steps to find the report:
- Look for the “Claims” button in the top menu bar
- Under “Claims History” click on “Search my claims”
- Enter the date range (e.g., January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021) in the date fields
- Select the date type, benefit type, and patient/claimant name(s)
- Click “Search”
- A complete list of your claims, including claimant name, type of service, statement date, amount submitted, benefit paid and status appears online.
- In the top right corner of that chart, there’s an icon and the words ‘Printable Summary’. Click that icon to load the PDF and prepare to print.
- At the bottom of the table, you will find a summary of the amount you submitted under claims, the benefit paid out on your behalf, and the difference between the two amounts (which is your out-of-pocket amount).
While this report is not a tax report, it may help you in preparing your annual tax return. It’s recommended you consult with a certified tax professional regarding your taxes.
