S-Corp Tax Filing

Asked onSaturday, February 25, 2023 by Desiree

I established my S-Corp in 11/2021. I am the only shareholder. Furthermore, I did not file any W2 for my salary, I did pay myself 30,000. The company's profit was 60,000. I am not sure how to file the taxes because I learned that I was supposed to send a W2 for myself and I did not. I only had a 1099 employee and they received their form.

Asked onSaturday, February 25, 2023 by Sara

Hi, My company has a matching program for Rsp so every month they would send a cheque with the 3% I’m contributing + the 3% they’re matching to my RSP account on my personal bank. Am I able to claim the RSP contribution on my tax return? In the T4, line 14 is reporting my whole salary including the rsp I’m contributing As for my company share it looks like it’s reported in line 40. Thank you.
