Who is eligible to make a claim using the T2200S?

Important note: Receiving this form does not confirm that you are eligible to make a claim on your personal income tax return.

According to the CRA, certain criteria must be met in order to be eligible to make a claim. KPMG, Ryerson’s accounting firm, has provided an (google doc) explainer resource document and FAQs on deductions of home office expenses (external link) to assist employees with understanding.

We recommend that you carefully review this information, and confirm your eligibility with a tax advisor.

The University does not take on any responsibility with respect to the decision of an employee to make a deduction on their tax return. This communication and all resource materials provided are not to be considered tax advice. Please consult your tax advisor.

Former employees

Those who worked at Ryerson between March 16 and December 31, 2020 but are no longer employed with Ryerson will need to contact Andrea Skyers at askyers@torontomu.ca to request their T2200S.
