EFILE - Form T183 - Taxpayer's authorization to use EFILE

This information is for professional tax preparers using the PRO program.

Before you can legally send via EFILE  a client's return, the client must sign a completed form T183 entitled "Information Return for Electronic Filing of an Individual's Income Tax and Benefits Return". This form grants the taxpayer's authorization to file his or her return using efile. You, as the tax preparer, must keep copies of all T183 signed by your clients as the CRA may ask to see them.

When the EFILE option in the program is set to EFILE On-Line, the program will automatically produce form T183. To complete this form the program uses the tax preparer's information entered in the "EFILE-NetFile setup" option of the "settings" menu, and the taxpayer's information entered on the "EFILE" section in the Left  side menu.

The declaration section of the T183 form shows the taxpayer's income amounts and the refund or balance owing. These amounts are filled automatically from the tax return. If changes made to the return alter the refund or balance owing by more than $300, a new efile authorization form T183 (and TP-1000.TE in Québec) must be completed and signed by the taxpayer.
