transmitting slips

So, the method of efiling slips has changed.  I used to be able to log in with Rep-a-client on my own company file, and I could efile as many sets of slips (for other companies) as I wanted to.  Now, I cannot even file my own because the T619 transmittal record doesn't agree with my log in number.  I'm not sure what information they want and where.  I'm sitting on a stack of slips to file, and I can't get any to go.  Used to be a 'transmitter number' but that has been done away with.

ANY clarification on this would be appreciated!

I assume that you have a business number (BN) and a WAC.  You can start in Profile menu EFILE Options, where you enter the Business number (transmitter number if you like). The business number must have 15 digits. If you are filing T4 it will most likely end with RP0001.  

 

Then you will EFILE, this will create the XML and it will  take you to the Profile CRA portal. It will asks you to enter the account number and WAC. For the account number you must enter the same BN that the one you entered in Profile Options, and the WAC associated to your BN

I do NOT have WACs for every client.  And in a lot of cases I don't have their 'date of registration' to meet CRA's requirements.  I have always filed multiple companies through Rep a Client from my own company, but there seems to be some erroneous information picked up now.  I have now managed to file several companies, but there are some that will not go.  And files that were prepared prior to the new version of Profile coming out in July won't load at all.

I haven't tried T5's yet, but I'm sure this will be the same case.....slips prepared in the 2023 module likely won't be recognized.

Thats right, 2023 slips filing is not available yet in Profile due to CRA changes this year, it will be available in R3.0 next week.

 

If you are submitting the XML through CRA's "Represent a Client", enter your RepId  and enter the transmitter number (BN). Not entering a BN might be acceptable too but this would have to be confirmed with CRA.

 

The business number depends of the types of slips, for T4, T4A  RP, T5 RZ etc.

Thanks.  On another note, I have a file that will not show up in the database, even though all the correct info is in the file.  It is a 2024 file, in the 2024 'folder', checked as e-file slips on the info page, Don't have a WAC or the information needed to obtain one.  Have filed slips for this company for many years.  I guess the burning question here is why won't it show up in the database so I can select it to transmit from Rep a Client?

Ok, just figured this last one out.  When Profile carried forward the file,  (there were two files), it populated the 'individual' fields (name, SIN, DOB) so the slips showed up in the individual's names, not in the company name, in the database.  Took out the individuals' information and resaved, and I was able to access the file for transmitting.

Guess we have to wait for next update to file T4s from the 2023 database.  And I'll see if I have success filing any T5s....
