RL-24's for 2024 can be sent electronically &
must be validated by the Quebec government no later than February 28th, 2025.
Organizations can transmit RL-24 receipts electronically (if they issue more than 50 receipts for a fiscal year) in 5 steps in the Accounting and finance > RL-24 Tax credit subtab. A child must be 16 years or younger during the taxation year to be eligible. For any questions or doubts regarding RL-24 eligibility, please refer to the Revenu Quebec website.

How it Works:
Step 1-Review activity information
To generate your RL-24s, you must first verify which activities are eligible and whether fees are declared by day or by week.
Click 'Go to Step 1'.
Filter your list for All, Eligible or Ineligible activities. The total number of activities is indicated.
To change the eligibility of an activity, click its name to modify the Taxes section of the activity. Save the activity.
The day an activity occurs determines its eligibility for the RL-24 tax credit. For example, an activity invoiced in 2023 but occurring in 2024 will count as eligible for the RL-24 tax credit of year 2024 (generated in early 2025). The invoice must be reconciled to a payment.
If your activity crosses over two different years (November 2024–February 2025), we recommend creating two distinct schedules for each year to ensure the occurrences are divided according to the correct tax year.
If a client leaves a deposit in 2023 and is registered for an activity occurring in 2024, it will show up for the 2024 RL-24 (generated in early in 2025).
If a client is registered for an activity occurring in 2024 and pays in 2025, it will show up in 2024 RL-24 data (generated in early 2025), as long as the payment is received and reconciled before the generation of RL-24s.
Return to Accounting and finance > RL-24 tax credit > Step 1 to continue reviewing eligible activities.
Click Export to Excel to export your lists.
When finished, click Continue to proceed to Step 2.
Step 2- Review reconciliations
The next step is ensuring all payments, credits, and reimbursements are reconciled to the appropriate invoice items. This is crucial to generating accurate RL-24 slips. Each line item displays an eligible invoice item with an incomplete reconciliation.
Click the invoice number to verify each incomplete reconciliation in the client's billing tab.
If a payment isn't reconciled to an eligible invoice item, it won't be admissible.
Click Back to Summary to return to your list of eligible activities; or
Click Continue to proceed to Step 3.
Step 3- Review canceled registrations
You can generate an RL-24 for cancelled registration if the child qualifies and partially participated in an eligible activity and/or paid a cancellation fee. Step 3 provides a list of cancelled registrations for eligible child participants, with the precalculated eligible amounts.
For example, if an Activity of $100 is cancelled, but the client is only refunded $80 due to a cancellation fee, the columns will look as follows:
Total | Not Eligible | Eligible |
100.00 | 80.00 | 20.00 |
Verify the amounts found in the eligible column to confirm if a child is eligible for a partial RL-24 tax credit.
Once verified, click Continue to proceed to Step 4.
❗Note that once you proceed to step 4, you will no longer be able to revisit steps 1-3 without the assistance of our support team. If you proceed back to step 1, updated information may be lost.
Step 4- Verify legal guardians
This is the last chance to enter missing required information before submission. Accounts with missing SIN and/or address information are flagged. If you proceed to Step 4, any and all accounts left in red will be left behind. You will have the option to create manual receipts for these accounts following your bulk submission.
Verify each page for accounts with missing information. These are flagged with red boxes.
Filter for all accounts or those with or without SIN information.
Corrections made to SIN numbers and/or address information can be made for the purpose of submitting RL-24's, but it won't make changes in the client's account. For this reason, we recommend making the changes directly in the client account and using the “Refresh erroneous SIN and addresses” button.
Any account with a missing SIN number and or address won't generate an RL-24 slip.
Refresh erroneous SIN and Addresses
Step 5- Verify RL-24 tax slips
This step produces the list of RL-24s to be sent for the government's approval. Clients whose information was not corrected in Step 4 won't appear in this list, nor be sent. Return to Step 4 if necessary. It's the last time you'll have an opportunity to make changes in batches.
To remove someone from the list, uncheck the 'Submit Receipt' box.
Click any field to manually edit the information.
Click Summary to generate a glance view of the total receipts, the number or receipts with errors, and the total to be sent to the government.
You can return to Step 5 or click Continue to transmit the RL-24s.
Confirm your Organization
Verify your organization's contact information and type. Corrections can be made in the Account > Main Information subtab.
Your Quebec Business Number (NEQ) and Identification number consist of 10 numeric characters. These numbers are visible on your correspondence with Revenu Quebec.
Your File number consists of 4 numeric characters and is visible on your correspondence with Revenu Quebec.
Once information is completed, click Submit and Send.
You cannot cancel the submission.
Print the RL-24 Summary and Mail it
The summary must include the number of RL-24s issued, including RL-24s labelled Modified and RL-24s labelled Cancelled. Thus, you must create a modified Summary for each change, cancellation, or addition of an RL-24. Alternatively, you can wait until you have no more changes before printing the RL-24 Summary.
📫 The up-to-date RL-24 Summary must be filled out, signed, and mailed to Revenu Quebec.
What Happens Next?
Once RL-24s are sent to the government, you can no longer edit RL-24 slips in batches. You may cancel or make modifications to individual slips and re-send electronically.
It may take approx. 3 business days for the government to validate the RL-24s. Once the government validates the RL-24s, admins with an 'Account owner' access level will receive an email (in the same language as your organization's settings) to notify them the RL-24s are ready. Admins must click 'Send your clients an email' in the Accounting and finance > RL-24 tax credit subtab.
An automatic email is then sent to the email address used to login to the client's Amilia account. RL-24s are not included in the email.
Account owners can access their RL-24s from the Documents tab in their personal account.
When receipts are approved, organizations can print RL-24s by batch or individually in the Accounting and finance > RL-24 Tax Credit subtab. A copy is included in the client's file under the Documents subtab.
If an RL-24 wasn't validated, your organization will receive an email specifying where errors were found. Correct the information and resubmit it to the government.
Manually Generate and Modify RL-24s
After the government has validated your submission, you may need to create additional RL-24's. This must be done manually.
In the Clients > Client file > Documents subtab, create an RL-24 for a secondary adult or create a new RL-24 for the first time.
If the secondary adult's information is in the Account Members subtab, a link with their name will be present in the Documents subtab.
If the secondary adult does not exist, add them to the applicable child's contacts in the Account Members subtab.
By clicking on the link, an RL-24 template appears. Complete the empty fields.
Save the information.
Resubmit the RL-24 to the government via Accounting and finance > RL-24 Tax Credit.
✏️ Modify or Cancel an Existing RL-24
After the government has validated your submission, you may need to modify some RL-24s. This must be done manually in the Accounting and finance>RL-24 Tax Credit subtab. click on Search for an RL-24. Contact us at support@amilia.com if you have any questions.
Step 1 - Click the button to Search for an RL-24.
Step 2 - Type in the SIN, child's name or parent's name to find the slip
and use the Actions to modify any field. To cancel, click the X icon.
Step 3 - Return to the RL-24 Summary to send a number of modified slips to the government. The buttons freeze while they verify, so best to send multiple slips at once.
Step 4 - After the government verifies the modified slip(s), you'll see
the number of emails to send to clients. Click the button to do so.
Step 5 - Don't forget to print & send the RL-24 Summary by mail once any all changes have been completed.
