I received an error message when transmitting a slip
An unsuccessful transmission error message will detail the cause of the failure. Apply the suggested solution and attempt the filing again.
Why can't I find the .xml file generated by a slip transmission?

The RL slips that I am transmitting are greyed out
In this instance, all slip options are greyed out and unable to be set.
- Navigate to the Info worksheet of the return.
- Confirm the Are you internet filing slips option is set to Yes.
- Review the MagMedia tab in the ProFile active auditor. If there is an error present in the tab, it may indicate that the necessary setup information for transmission is missing or incomplete.
