Tax advice: wage loss replacement

[Bend it like Bourgeois]

My wife was on mat leave last year, which I guess included some disability payments.

No worries there. But the my handy dandy quick tax gave me this advice:
You are reporting wage loss replacement plan income from box 28 of your T4A slip. Be sure to enter contributions you made to the plan that you have not previously deducted. This will reduce the amount of income you have to report.

So, does that mean I can add up all her contributions to the short term disability plan on her pay-stubs and deduct that? Can I ballpark it using some educated and conservative guesses? Is this as simple as it seems?

I don't know the answers you seek but i am guessing it does not include that! Tax's and government NEVER go with words like "ball park", "guess", and "simple".

Is this the board's way of telling me not to be cheap and to find someone to pay for this advice?
