2024 OPTION

tpesky · ‎March 02, 2025

Effective for the 2024 tax year, electronic filers will be able to submit T1 income tax and benefit returns through EFILE for deemed residents of Canada filing under section 250 of the Income Tax Act (some exclusions apply).”

To confirm if your software supports these return types, visit the detailed information page by clicking on the name of the company for your software product at the following website: EFILE certified software for the 2024 EFILE program.

I am not being allowed the option to efile these returns? Is it a software issue as CRA says it's ok to do this? Still says it should be paper filed?

If you go to the form T1EFILE, on this form, if anything is set to yes, you will not be able to EFILE

Make sure that the INFO page is filled out accurately.

Non-Resident Status Returns - Disposition of Taxable Canadian Property by Non-Residents of Canada (Section 116), Deemed Resident, Emigrant (Certification in process)

Hi again.

What does "certification in process" mean? Saw this under Canada.ca site.

Once a software developer has completed their product, they can transmit their test returns to the CRA. The CRA evaluates the results and, if the software meets the certification test criteria, issues a confirmation letter to the developer. Only when a developer has received this confirmation letter can the product be marketed as software that is EFILE-certified.
