AvanTax eForms and COVID-19In response the COVID-19 pandemic we will be updating AvanTax eForms to take into consideration additional and/or modified filing requirements as we receive new information from CRA and Revenu Québec. |
| December 16, 2020 - An update from the CRA: "Home office expenses for employees - As an employee, you may be able to claim certain home office expenses (work-space-in-the-home expenses, office supplies, and certain phone expenses)." Further information is available from the CRA by clicking here. |
| December 15, 2020 - CRA has released the T2200S - Declaration of Conditions of Employment for Working at Home Due to COVID-19; the Production Release of eForms will include the new T2200S form and will be available early in January, 2021. |
| December 1, 2020 - A T2200 update from the CRA: "4.8.3 - Millions of Canadians are unexpectedly working from home because of COVID-19 ..... To simplify the process for both taxpayers and businesses, the CRA will allow employees working from home in 2020 due to COVID-19 ... to claim up to $400 ... without the need to track detailed expenses, and will generally not request that people provide a signed form from their employers." Further information is available from the CRA by clicking here. |
| October 22, 2020 - In discussion with CRA's Magnetic Media Processing Unit we have been informed that XML files containing the new T4 Other Information codes (See '2' above.) will not be accepted by CRA prior to January 1, 2021 (approximately). We have configured eForms so that the new Other Information codes will not be reported on T4 slips or included in T4 XML files prepared before that time. |
| September 17, 2020 - Due to the new Other Information codes for CERB validation on the T4 slip, insufficient fields may be left for any additional Other Information codes. We have added the ability to easily duplicate T4 slips so that additional Other Information data may be entered. |
| September 14, 2020 - CRA is evaluating drafts of a simplified T2200 to reduce the potential increase in workflow incurred by the large number of Canadians working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. eForms will include the simplified T2200 if and when it is released by the CRA. |
| September 1, 2020 - CRA has added four Other Information codes to the T4 to confirm employee Canadian Emergency Relief Benefit (CERB) eligibility; these codes have been added to eForms. Further information is available from the CRA by clicking here. |
| August 27, 2020 - With the potential for a significant increase in T2200 slip volume, we have added the ability to easily duplicate T2200 slips so that a new recipient name and address information may be entered. |

|
| 1 | We corrected a problem with the printing of the T2202 Slip where the filer account number (Box 15) was being printed on the student copy. CRA requires that this field be left blank on all printed copies. |

|

|
| 1 | We have corrected an issue with the calculations on the RL-1 Summary in Work Chart B, “Contribution to the health services fund before the reduction for the creation of specialized jobs”. This issue does not affect any printed RL-1 Slips or XML files generated by the program. It only affects the amounts on the paper summary. It may affect you if you used Work Chart B and you included an amount in the Adjustments box on the RL-1 summary. - The adjustments box is a customized number that is added to the totals of boxes A and Q on the RL-1 slips in order to set box 28 (Total payroll for determining the contribution rate) to the desired amount. In some cases, the rate calculated may be incorrect since Work Chart B did not take into consideration the manually entered adjustment.

|
| 1 | The two-per-page T4A slip had separate boxes for the recipient's surname and first name/initial pre-printed on the form. AvanTax eForms printed the entire recipient name in the surname box using the standard format (SURNAME, First, Initial). We made a change to the printing to improve readability of the slip. We made this change for cosmetic purposes only. All T4A slips produced by any previous version of the software are perfectly sufficient as is. As such, release 2018.1.2.113 is entirely optional. |
January 21, 2019 - v. 2018.1.2.112 - Production Release |

|
| 1 | Release 2017.1.1.100 of AvanTax eForms 2017 did not set up database file associations correctly. If you double click on a 2016 AvanaTax eForms database after installing the 2017 release of the software, it would attempt to use the 2017 program to open the 2016 file. To correct this problem please install the newest release of AvanTax eForms 2017. |

|
| 1 | The two-per-page T4A slip had separate boxes for the recipient's surname and first name/initial pre-printed on the form. AvanTax eForms printed the entire recipient name in the surname box using the standard format (SURNAME, First, Initial). We made a change to the printing to improve readability of the slip. We made this change for cosmetic purposes only. All T4A slips produced by any previous version of the software are perfectly sufficient as is. As such, release 2016.1.2.116 is entirely optional. |
February 13, 2017 - Production Release 2016.1.2.115 - Our 30th Annual Release! |
|
| 1 | We corrected a problem on the Relevé 1 Summary where Box 51, the Contribution to the Workforce Skills Development and Recognition Fund (WSDRF) may be calculated incorrectly. The amount for Box 51 is supposed to be calculated in the event that your payroll is greater than $2,000,000.00. However, the program calculated it when the payroll is over $1,000,000.00. Therefore, box 51 would be calculated incorrectly if the payroll is between $1,000,000.00 and $2,000,000.00 Please note that this issue affects the summary only and not the printing of slips or the generation of XML submission files. You can resolve this issue without updating to the newest release of AvanTax eForms if you override box 50 on the summary and set it to 0.00 if necessary. |
| 2 | We corrected a problem that may affect the printing and XML filing of T5013 (Federal partnership) slips in release 2016.1.2.114 or earlier of AvanTax eForms. If you are preparing T5013 slips you may encounter a situation where one of the slips cannot be printed. If you have produced an XML file for CRA it is also possible that one of the slips may be excluded from the submission file. Please read on for details. This situation will only occur if you are preparing T5013 slips and you have selected to automatically transfer the value account 8299 (Total Revenue) or 9369 (Net non-farming income) from Schedule 125 to the slips and summary. Description of the issue: 1. When printing T5013 slips you may find that one of the slips will not print. If you print all the slips in a batch, one slip will be missing. If you try to print this slip individually the system will give the message “There is no data in the selected company or companies to be printed”. The missing slip will be the first one in the list when the slips are displayed in data entry sequence. 2. If the issue identified in item 1 above has occurred then the system would also exclude the same slip from the XML file created for submission to CRA. Resolution: 1. Upgrade to the newest version of AvanTax eForms. 2. If you have already submitted XML files for partnership forms and have also selected to automatically transfer the value account 8299 (Total Revenue) or 9369 (Net non-farming income) from Schedule 125 to the slips and summary then there may be a slip missing from the XML file. You will have to check your XML file to determine if there is a missing slip. ◦ Find the XML file that you submitted. Double click on it to open it in a browser. Scroll to the bottom of the file and find the tag which says . It should be about 8 lines up from the bottom. If the number of slips is correct then you do not have a problem. If the number of slips is one less than you expected you will have to prepare and submit an additional XML containing the one missing slip only. ◦ If you have reviewed your XML file and have determined that there is a slip missing, or if you need help making this determination, or if you need assistance preparing the second submission file, then please call our support line and we will help you diagnose and correct the issue. |
February 6, 2017 - Production Release 2016.1.2.114 - Our 30th Annual Release! |
|
| 1 | A print alignment issue has been corrected on the T5007 summary. |
| 2 | The Electronic Filing validation warnings report gave the warning message: "Technical contact email address - invalid e-mail address" in the case where the second email address in the transmitter setup screen was left blank. In this case, it was a spurious error message and can be ignored. The second email address is an optional field in the transmitter setup. The new version of the program does not give this warning in the situation where the second email address is left blank in the transmitter setup. |
