T5 Filing Error message: Filer account number is missing or invalid for this type of return.

Have errors trying to file a T5 (finally figured out how to file a T4)

 

Error message:

Filer account number is missing or invalid for this type of return.

 

In the Info section of Profile, I have filled out the Filer account number xxxxx xxxx RZ0001 and I still receive the error message.

EFILE Transmitter shows the Filer account number the same as the Business number.

 

Has anyone resolved this?

Thank you, however:

1. the CRA link you provided does not work

2. I still get the same error message, "Filer account number is missing or invalid for this type of return"

 

In this case, this happens whether I try to file from within Profile, using the client's RZ number and a Web Access Code, or if I try to use Represent a Client. 

 

The Filer account number has been entered; the file has been saved with this information.

Thanks for the update.

 

I sorted it out after 2 hours on the phone with CRA.

 

I needed an RZ0002 number, as the original RZ0001 number was associated with T5018 filings many years ago.
