CO-17 returns are transmitted separately from the T2 Federal return, and transmit directly to Revenu Quebec. If the CO-17 is to be paper filed, the return must be printed in French or a watermark will display. ProFile will not print the return in English, as this is not permissible by Revenu Quebec.
CO-17 transmission setup
1. Select the Options... option from the EFILE dropdown menu in the top toolbar.
2. Select the T2 CO-17 Internet Filing option from the left-side menu.
3. Enter the NetFile number in the NetFile QC Number field.
4. Enter the access code in the Access Code field.
5. Clic Revenu: Visit clicSEQUR to apply for access to this transmission service. This is commonly used for OnePay customers and is only available for Quebec residents. You can use either Clic Revenu or a NetFile number to transmit your return. If you use NetFile, you must also fill a CO-1000 and file it with your return.
CO-17 transmission
1. On the Info page, select Quebec or multi-jurisdiction as the Province.
Note: Allocate the appropriate income amounts to Quebec on Schedule 5 if T2 is set to MJ (Multi-Jurisdiction).
2. Under Quebec, enter the NEQ and Identification number.
3. After completing the return, select the option Internet file CO-17?.
4. In the EFILE menu, select Internet file this CO-17 return.
ProFile generates a PDF of the return for submission, assuming the software detects no errors with the return.
5. Select the OK button.
The Revenu Quebec window displays, indicating if the return has been accepted or not. This transmission window is from RQ, and in the event of a rejection, RQ lists the cause of the error. This ranges from an incomplete entry to credentials not being entered.
