Errors / warnings in data

When you update a client's data, DT Max may produce one or several error and/or warning messages for that client. These error or warning messages can be viewed at any time from within the data entry screen by clicking the Error and warning messages icon on that toolbar or by selecting the option Show errors / warnings from the Edit menu.

Errors that prevent calculations must be fixed or the data cannot be calculated and, in the client list, the client will appear with a processing status indicating Data errors.

Errors that prevent filing (T2) will occur if information that is required by the CRA is missing. As long as such an error remains, no RSI's, for instance, will be generated.

GIFI errors (T2) are errors that have been detected with respect to the GIFI data entered. Such errors must be rectified in order to paper-file the federal RSI's or efile the federal or Quebec return.

Warnings, on the other hand, are intended to bring potential problems to your attention. If deemed unimportant or irrelevant, you can ignore a warning and resume calculations after clicking the Close button.

In order to resolve errors and/or warnings, select the warning or error from the list, click the Go to keyword button and DT Max will bring you to the problem area in the data.

Warnings that are ignored will also appear on the diagnostics report.
