T777: Statement of Employment Expenses

What is T777?

T777, Statement of Employment Expenses, is a Canada Revenue Agency form that employees use to total the expenses they are allowed to deduct against employment income. It covers costs such as a work space in the home, supplies, motor vehicle expenses, and certain travel, where the employer required the employee to pay them and certified the conditions on Form T2200. The net deductible amount is carried to the T1 income tax and benefit return.

T777 is a dynamic PDF that the CRA publishes in Adobe XFA format. It does not fill in a web browser, so it will not display in the in-browser editor or quick-fill form here. Download it and open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader to complete the fields, then file it with your return.

Who files T777?

• Employees whose contract required them to pay their own work expenses
• Workers who maintain a work space in the home at the employer request
• Commissioned employees deducting expenses tied to earning commission income
• Employees whose employer signed Form T2200 certifying the conditions of employment
