Release Highlights
Revisions
We originally released these changes on June 2, 2022, as version 11.2.47047.0. Upon releasing the automatic update, we added the following changes:
T2 and AT1 Filing Date Extension
TaxCycle supports the preparation and filing of federal T2 and Alberta AT1 corporate tax returns with tax year ends up to October 31, 2022.
T2 File Conversion Message
When you open an in-progress T2 return, TaxCycle may prompt you to convert it to the new module. This message appears when the status of the T2 return you are working on is other than Completed and the corporation’s tax year starts on or after January 1, 2020.
- Click the Convert button or link to convert the return to the newer module.
- Save the new return. You can choose to delete the old file (checked by default) or save (clear the check mark) it at the bottom of the workflow dialog box. Once a file is deleted, it will no longer appear in the Client Manager or in the recent files list.
- The new file extension is .2022T2 and supports returns up to October 31, 2022. To learn more about T2 file name extensions, read the T2 File Name Extensions help topic.
- Customer Request S8AssetSummary, AS13AssetSummary and QC8AssetSummary. These summaries show a list of the assets entered in the T2, AT1 and CO-17 returns, respectively.
- TX-19 Asking for a Clearance Certificate.
- Schedule 59 Information Return for Non-Qualified Securities. Use this schedule if you are an employer to report, as required under subsection 110(1.9), that a security to be issued or sold under an employee security option agreement between your employee and a qualifying person is a non-qualified security. When you prepare Schedule 59, TaxCycle selects the new line 274 on page 3 of the T2 jacket.
- Schedule 63 Return of fuel charge proceeds to farmers tax credit
- Schedule 65 Air quality improvement tax credit. This currently appears as a worksheet version of the form, as the CRA has indicated that this form will be available for processing in the fall 2022 update.

New! NAICS Codes for 2022
TaxCycle T2 and T5013 now include the updated list of North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes for 2022. Ninety-five codes became obsolete and 90 new codes were added. See New and Obsolete NAICS Codes for 2022 for a list.
- In TaxCycle T2, these changes affect the NCAIS fields on the Info worksheet, form T106 and the 2021 version of form T1134.
- In TaxCycle T5013, this only affects the fields on the Info worksheet.
If you carry forward a file that uses a deprecated code, TaxCycle retains the old code but displays a review message asking you to select a new code.
Schedule 8 Immediate Expensing of Depreciable Property
We have started work on adding the immediate expensing calculations to TaxCycle T2 for a future release. Meanwhile, if you wish to make a claim for immediate expensing, please follow the steps in our news item on Bill C-19 Immediate Expensing of Depreciable Property.
We will add support for immediate expensing to TaxCycle T5013 once we receive guidance from the CRA.
Status of New Automobile Deduction Limits
In December, the government announced the 2022 automobile deduction limits and expense benefit rates for businesses.
This included a new limit for $34,000 before tax for class 10.1, a $59,000 limit for class 54, and a $900 limit to automobile monthly leasing costs.
The CRA has directed us to wait to add these changes to TaxCycle.
New! Download T2 Notice of Assessment
The CRA has added notices of (re)assessment (NOA) to T2 Auto-fill. When selecting tax data to download, choose the tax year end for the NOA you need. You may only download one year at a time.
After downloading, you can preview the NOA in the AFR matching window before importing. From the T2 Auto-fill (AFR) worksheet, you can open and view the NOA file in a browser.
CO-17 Online Filing: Attaching Financial Statement Notes
Every CO-17 transmission already includes the financial statements (Schedules 100, 125 and 141); however, Revenu Québec does not require the notes to the financial statements (in FinNotes). We added the optional check box if you wish to include the FinNotes.
Instead of manually attaching financial statements notes during CO-17 transmission, you can now select a check box to include the financial statements notes from the TaxCycle FinNotes worksheet automatically in the transmission to Revenu Québec.

Rollover of T5013/TP-600 to 2022

- You can carry forward 2021 T5013 returns from TaxCycle, including the creation of stub period returns. Please wait to carry forward competitor files.

- The government forms are the 2021 forms updated to include 2022 indexed amounts and budget changes announced or estimated based on the information we have at this time. A review message appears on the year-end date field and in a bulletin at the top of the forms to remind you of this.
