Secondary keywordDT-ImportFedDiff

Use DT-ImportFedDiff to indicate whether or not DT Max should automatically compare the changes brought to the T1 federal return with the federal "As-filed" snapshot copy for the selected tax year. DT Max will automatically import for each modified line the amounts claimed on the "As-filed" snapshot as well as the new modified amounts on the adjusted return.

If you choose to re-import the difference, you must re-select the option "yes". This will update all keywords in the T1-Adjust group.

This new DT Max feature is available for tax year 2010 onward and allows you to calculate the impact of the changes made to the adjusted return compared to the "As-filed" snapshot copy of the return. To use this new feature, simply follow these steps:

  1. Make sure that you have an "As-filed" snapshot copy of the return for the relevant year (see "As-filed snapshot"). You may view the "As-filed" snapshot copy of the return when you select "As-filed - federal" instead of "Production" in the "Tax return" display screen. Please contact the Support group for more information if you don't have an "As-filed" snapshot copy of the return.
  2. Modify the data directly in the adjusted version for the selected year in order to reflect the new information that modifies the tax return (Please note that automatic adjustment will apply for tax years 2008 and subsequent. For tax years prior to 2008, you must complete the adjustment request manually.).
  3. Recalculate the client's return. Following the changes that were made, new amounts will be carried forward automatically to the following tax year. If information has already been entered in the following tax year, the client's status will indicate "Review required" and the new carryforwards will be displayed on the right-hand side as "Calculated carryforwards" and you will have to copy those new carryforwards manually from right to left.
  4. Go back to the data entry screen for tax year 2010 or subsequent, use the keyword T1-Adjust and choose "Federal T1 (T1-ADJ)". Select the tax year that is affected by the adjustment and choose "Yes" for the new keyword DT-ImportFedDiff . The automated adjustment is available for tax years 2008 and subsequent.
  5. The line numbers, the line titles, the prior amounts and the corrected amounts will appear automatically in the T1-Adjust group. Enter the other information if necessary, particularly the details of the adjustment that you are requesting, and recalculate the return in order to print and file the T1-ADJ form. You must provide the supporting documents for the total adjusted amount.

Secondary keywordDT-ImportQueDiff

Use DT-ImportQueDiff to indicate whether or not DT Max should automatically compare the changes brought to the TP1 Quebec return with the Quebec "As-filed" snapshot copy for the selected tax year. DT Max will automatically import for each modified line the amounts claimed on the "As-filed" snapshot as well as the new modified amounts on the adjusted return.

If you choose to re-import the difference, you must re-select the option "yes". This will update all keywords in the T1-Adjust group.
