Release Highlights
Label Printing for Slips
In response to a recent request on ProTaxCommunity, we've added label printing for individual slips to TaxCycle. Now, if you wish to send multiple slips in a larger envelope, you can quickly print labels for all recipients in a slips return. To learn how to get started, read the Print Labels for Slip Recipients help topic.
E-signatures on T4, T5, NR4 and T5018 Slip Summaries
This release adds support for requesting TaxFolder and DocuSign® e-signatures on the T4, T5, NR4 and T5018 slip summaries.
Electronic Submission of T1 AuthRep
Electronic submission of authorization requests (AuthRep) from TaxCycle T1 for 2021 will require you update to this release in order to transmit authorization requests starting February 7, 2022. All other T1 electronic filing types remain closed until February 21, 2022.
Removal of Preview Watermark From 2021 T1 Forms
With this release, we have removed the Preview watermark from most forms to allow you to mail any returns to CRA or Revenu Québec that are ready and which you do not want to or cannot yet transmit through EFILE.
The following forms still have the Preview watermark due to ongoing work:
- T2203, Provincial and Territorial Taxes for Multiple Jurisdictions
- T2042, Statement of Farming Activities
- AgriStability/AgriInvest forms (T1163/1164 and T1273/1274)
Farming-related forms remain in preview state as we continue work on the new refundable tax credit for the “Return of fuel charge proceeds” to farmers, announced in the December 14, 2021, economic and fiscal update.
Customer-Requested Template Changes
- Updated the section of the Climate Action Incentive (CAI) in the 2021 T1 client letters (CLetter and JLetter).
- Added a paragraph to the T1 client letters to remind residents of Ontario to save receipts from travel expenses in Ontario during 2022. We also added an item to the checklist in the 2021 post-season letters (in the 2021 PostSeasonDocs snippet), and will add a similar item to the 2022 pre-season letter (in the 2022 PreSeasonDocs snippet, once available).
- Removed the reference to sign form TX19 when paper filing a return from the T1 client letters (CLetter and JLetter).
- Added subject lines to the 2021 pre-season and post-season letters and to the 2020 post-season letters in TaxCycle T1.
- Fixed the dates in the supporting documents checklist snippet for 2020 and 2021 post-season letters for TaxCycle T1. (As reported on protaxcommunity.com.)
TaxFolder-Related Changes
This release includes the following enhancements in TaxCycle to coincide with the recent TaxFolder update:
- The view link in the banner above forms sent to TaxFolder no longer shows if the preparer later deletes the request from within TaxFolder.
- To improve performance, secure uploads from TaxCycle to TaxFolder no longer pass through taxfolder.com before going to Amazon S3 storage.
This release adds Québec form LM-1.A-V, Request for Cancellation or Variation of Registration. This form is the equivalent of the federal RC-145.
Resolved Issues
- Improvements made to the process for automatically entering the path to the XML file when filing slips using CRA Internet File Transfer (XML). This change also affects attaching files for e-Courier and other services.
- T5013—Resolved an issue where the slip view for the T5013Partner and RL15Partner refreshed slowly while waiting for the result of a another calculation. It now refreshes instantly.
