1 |
Corrected a problem with the creation of
T5008 XML files. CRA requires that
amounts reported on T5008 slips include the
dollar value only and not the cents.
If data imported from a spreadsheet was not
rounded to the nearest dollar but included
cents, the resulting XML file will
be invalid. The printed
slips will be accurate, but the XML created
will be invalid. This issue does
not apply if the data imported from the
spreadsheet was rounded to the
nearest dollar. In this case the
slips and the XML produced by the software
are valid. Summary:
1) If T5008 data was entered manually or
if data imported from a spreadsheet was rounded
to the nearest dollar then there are no
issues either with the printed slips or the
XML file generated by the program.
2) If the T5008 data imported from a
spreadsheet included amounts not rounded the
nearest dollar, but included cents, then XML
generated by the program would have been formatted
incorrectly. However, the printed
slips are accurate. If you have
already submitted XML file containing T5008s to
CRA using a previous release of AvanTax
eForms 2012, then it may have to be resubmitted. If
you have any questions then please call
AvanTax eForms technical support. |

Your tax slip data can be rolled
forward from the 2011 T4 TimeSaver by selecting
Convert Last Year's Databases from the Tools menu or
Convert a 2011 Database from
the File menu. AvanTax eForms does not
automatically import user settings from the previous
year's software during the installation process.
You
may use Import User Information
from Last Year's T4 TimeSaver from the Tools menu to import user
information.
AvanTax eForms is designed
for and tested on the following Windows platforms:
Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
The Microsoft .NET
Framework Version 2.0 sp2 must be installed on the
computer. If, during program installation, a Network
Administrator Installation is selected, the .NET Framework
installation package
will be copied to the network location and will be
installed if required when NETNODE.EXE is run. If a Workstation Installation
is selected and the Framework is not installed, you
will be prompted to download the .NET
Framework installation package from the
Internet.
If you downloaded the install file (eForms2012Setup.exe) from
www.avantax.ca, simply run it and follow the instructions. If you are installing from a CD, insert the CD and wait a few
seconds for the setup program to start up. If it does not start
automatically, run D:SETUP.EXE (replacing D: with the drive
letter of your CD drive). Follow the on-screen instructions. If you are
running Windows Vista or Windows 7 you may have to right click on
the installation file and select "Run as
administrator" to start the installation.
If you want to run AvanTax eForms from more than one workstation,
you can do a Workstation installation on each
computer, but for ease of installation and
centralizing subsequent program updates, it is
recommended that you install the program on a
network drive where it can be accessed by all
network users. This type of installation is
called a Network Administrator installation.
When you start the installation, select "Network Administrator" as the
type of installation and complete the installation
to a network drive. Then run NETNODE.EXE from each
workstation to install the program on the
workstations. A shortcut will be created on the
workstation's desktop and in the Start menu.
When installed as a "node",
AvanTax eForms
can also run in
off-line mode, which allows laptop users to run
the program when out of the office (accessing
local data and user settings), and then
reconnect to the network when back in the
office.
To register this copy of the program
simply enter the unique authorization code issued to
you by ELM Computer Systems. Until this code is
entered, the program will print "VOID" on the slips
and summaries, and some of the features of AvanTax
eForms
Plus or Enterprise will be unavailable. You may
continue to use AvanTax eForms without registering
the program. All the data you enter will be saved.
The opportunity to register will be available every
time you start the program
until registration has been completed.
AvanTax eForms uses the free
Adobe Acrobat Reader for viewing and printing
returns (slips and summaries). You must have Acrobat 5.x or above. To install or
upgrade Acrobat Reader you may download Acrobat Reader from Adobe's
website http://get.adobe.com/reader.
If you
have difficulty downloading or installing the software, visit
Adobe's website at www.adobe.com.
