AvanTax eForms v. 2025.102 - Early Production Release

1 - In version 2025.101, the number of companies displayed in the active company selection box was limited to 999. If your data file contained more than 999 companies, any additional companies would not appear in the list. There was no data loss, but the company list was incomplete. Release 2025.102 resolves this issue.

2 - The CRA Form T215 did not print correctly in previous versions of eForms 2025. If you use Form T215 and need to print the slips, you will require this new update.

Update on the filing of CRA information returns

For several weeks we have helped you to deal with multiple issues introduced by recent changes to CRA's XML submission site. During this time, we have also repeatedly asked CRA for an extension to their filing deadline to make up for the delays caused by these changes.

Today, we are happy to report that CRA has extended the submission deadline from February 28, 2025 to March 7, 2025 for all returns having a submission deadline of February 28, 2025.
