Amending Slips

To correctly process amended or cancelled slips DO NOT import data for the amended or cancelled slips into eForms; all slips being amended or cancelled must:

• already exist within eForms
• have been submitted to CRA or Revenu Québec
• be edited manually, unless you are using the ‘Update based on linking field’ feature of eForms Enterprise

eForms will not process amended Revenu Québec slips if the original slip does not exist within the eForms data file.

In the event that you are required to make changes to data already submitted to CRA or Revenu Québec, you will need to submit an Amended return. To do this:

• Open the desired slip(s) in eForms
• DO NOT import amended data into eForms; ESPECIALLY if amending Revenu Québec forms
• On the slip/s to be amended, change the slip status to indicate that it is an Amended slip
• Make all changes directly to the slip data currently existing within eForms
  • DO NOT change the recipient name AND the recipient’s SIN or Business Number with an amended slip
  • If the recipient name AND the recipient’s SIN or Business Number are being changed, CRA and Revenu Québec require you to cancel the original (incorrect) slip and issue a new original (corrected) slip to replace it
• DO NOT change sequence numbers on Revenu Québec forms; eForms will correctly update sequence numbers for Revenu Québec forms as necessary

• Process the XML return for the company; select “Amended” as the status of slips to include only amended slips in the submission; refer to Submit a Data Subset for details on how to submit a subset of the the total dataset
• Print the slips; select “Amended” as the status of slips to print only amended slips; refer to Submit a Data Subset for details on how to print a subset of the the total dataset
