Code 08 and reimbursement of employment insurance benefits

Program(s) affected: T1 Document created: April 15, 2004 Tax year(s): 2003 Document last modified: June 16, 2004 Version(s): Problem status: Fixed in v7.30

Why is DT Max entering a code 08 in box 461 of the Quebec return with respect to the amount appearing in box 30 of the T4E slip?

This occurs in version 7.20 only.

DT Max systematically generates code 08 in order to ask the MRQ to determine whether it would be more advantageous to grant a tax credit with respect to the averaging of the deduction for employment insurance benefits reimbursement (Quebec tax guide, line 462(8)). As a result, the return cannot be efiled because in such a case, it must be submitted on paper.

However, should you wish to generate code 08 in a client's file after the patch has been installed, use the keyword Override and enter 8 for box 461 of the Quebec return.
