Taxation Receipts/T2202 Forms

T2202 forms are issued online by the University once a year, on February 28, and cover ALL courses taken and paid for in the previous calendar year. For example, the form issued in February 2023 covers all courses completed in 2022 (winter, spring, and fall terms).

T2202 forms are not mailed to students. Students must log in to their WebAdvisor account to retrieve and print their own forms. SEE #7 BELOW for step-by-step instructions for retrieving T2202 forms via WebAdvisor and our top FAQs.

Top Ten FAQs about T2202 Tax Forms

1. Why is The University of Winnipeg asking for my social insurance number (SIN)? How do I enter it?

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires all designated educational institutions to submit T2202 tax forms directly to the CRA. The CRA requires that the tax forms contain students' social insurance numbers (SIN) and so The University of Winnipeg is requesting your SIN in order to comply with this requirement.

Information on this change and requirement can be found at this link.

 

There is module in WebAdvisor through which students add their SIN to their University record. Please follow these steps:

  1. Login to WebAdvisor
  2. Choose Social Insurance Number (SIN) Information
  3. Click on the pencil/edit icon on the right side
  4. Type in your nine-digit SIN and save

Please note: Subsection 237(1) of the Income Tax Act requires that you provide your SIN, upon request, to the preparer of the tax information slip. More information on this requirement can be found on the CRA website.  CRA Subsection 237(1)

2. Are all of my tuition and incidental fees claimable?

No, only the claimable fees are reflected on your T2202. The following fees are claimable for 2022:

Undergraduate/Graduate Studies

Tuition fees
Registration fees
Student Life fees
Information Technology fees
Facility fee
Fitness Centre levy

Menno Simmons fees

Professional, Applied and Continuing Education (PACE) Studies

Tuition fees
Application fees

English Language Program (ELP) Studies

3. Why doesn’t the amount on my T2202 match the amount of money I paid the University?
  1. Not all fees are claimable. See the list in question #2 as well as consult the CRA’s website.
  2. The CRA requires the University to match the fees to the attendance dates of the courses, not our fee deadlines or the date of a payment. If a course spans two calendar years, the claimable amounts are split between the two calendar/tax years.
  3. Only fees that have been paid are claimable.
4. Will I be issued a T2202 if I do not provide my SIN?

Yes, T2202s will be issued for all students who paid claimable fees for the applicable year. Possible consequences from the CRA for not providing your SIN to the University as required can be here.

5. Will I be issued a T2202 if I have not paid my fees?

Only fees that have been paid are claimable. If you have only partially paid your fees, your T2202 will reflect the amount of the payment that is claimable.

6. What was the cut-off date for fee payments to be included in my 2022 T2202?

The University had to have received the payment by 4:00 pm Jan. 30, 2023. If you make a payment for 2022 fees which the University receives after Jan. 30, 2023, you may request a revision to your T2202 form.
