Hasn't resolved for me.  I spoke with Profile and they say its a CRA issue.  I spent 3 hours with CRA and they say everything works. I downloaded new profile update today and CRA did system maintenance yesterday and still nothing

After the updates, I restarted everything and now it works.  So frustrating but now happy that it finally works.

Mine is now working as well!  Thank goodness, a bit of pain to resolve these things.  

happening agian--I did 2 this morning with no problems--then just went to do another and got "timed out or did not initiate "

Something wierd as just did 3 more clients and all downloaded no problem, went back to original client and get message cannot initate or whatever so glitch somewhere in system

Hi, thank you for using Intuit ProFile Community

The ProFile side is working, AFR is working in ProFile 2020.3.5. Other factors affecting the process are internet options, antivirus programs blocking the CRA ProFile connection.

Also the default browser may also be an issue, there is an article here

Hope this helps

It's all good now.

I had a client a week ago and it was impossible to do CRA autofill. Yesterday I found out that since her CRA account had been "compromised" not long ago (some unauthorized representatives had been accessing it), the CRA prevented anyone else to access it. 

Do you have a Represent a Client Account?  If not get one as it seamlessly works well for me

Of course I did, but it had nothing to do with the issue. 

In fact, I strongly believe that it should be possible to prevent anyone from becoming your representative, not only after your CRA account is compromised. Or, better yet, the CRA should enable you to create a special password which you would have to give to anyone whom you're going to authorize to access your CRA account. That would be a simple, yet very effective solution to prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing you CRA account. The CRA should have thought about that long ago; alas, the words "government" and "thinking" are often miles apart.

Still having problems with Auto-Fill, and a few other things.  finally down loaded software again as I was told this would fix the problem.  At last...it did not.  still having problems.  

Hello Turbo Tax,

I couldn't do AFMR for my 2020 on line tax return. This is the message:

Experiencing this same issue since yesterday....anyone else? Is it a CRA issue or Intuit? What's the resolution?

Hi, thank you for using Intuit ProFile Community

The are no current issues with AFR on either the ProFile or CRA side at this time. 

Hope this helps

I am trying to autofill 2021 tax returns. I get a message saying cannot initiate or timed out session. 

Have access though Rep a client. ??

Thanks

Hi, thank you for using Intuit ProFile Community

Auto fill from CRA for 2021T1 will be available in ProFile 2021.3.0 targeted for next week, ( the week of February 14,2022). The AFR for CRA and RQ are part of the CRA certified E-file version of ProFile. For prior returns that are already CRA certified, AFR is still available.

I apologize for any inconvenience  but hope this helps

Thank you for the response.
