Program(s) affected: T1 Document created: 03 19, 2013 Tax year(s): 2012 Document last modified: Version(s): 16.01, 16.10, 16.11, 16.12 Problem status: Fixed in v16.20

* Please note that this situation can also occur when there is only one T4 slip in those (rare) cases when the actual contributions made to the CPP/QPP do not correspond to the theoretical contributions.
