Print this pageForward this document  What's new for T1/T2 Internet version 15.01?

The latest DT Max program update is now available for downloading. It features the T1/TP-1 program for the tax years 2001 to 2011 inclusively and the T2 program for fiscal periods ending from 2001 to 2012 and fully supports corporation Internet filing (T2, CO-17 and AT1).

Please note that in regard to the T1/TP-1 program, version 15.01 supports paper filing but does not support EFILE transmission due to its early release date. The EFILE module will be integrated in the next version of DT Max that will be stamped 15.10 and made available on CD-ROM and via www.dtmax.ca to all DT Max clients. This will take place as soon as we receive all relevant certifications towards the end of January or early February 2012.

Furthermore, please be advised that this issue is an abridged version of the standard T1 " What's New " release notes as it only provides a basic recap of changes implemented. Detailed keyword and tax change information will be released with version 15.10 of DT Max T1.

In this version...

System change

New features and technical changes

    1. Tagging keywords for review

      A new option has been added to the mouse right-click menu. The ? icon enables you to tag a keyword for review. Tag it by either right-clicking and choosing "Tag keyword "For review"", or by pressing the "?" sign. The icon will appear on the right of the amount that has been tagged and will also be part of the data editor’s Error and warning messages.

    2. Field review feature

      This new feature allows you to tag fields for review on screen and save time and paper.

      The aim of this feature is to provide a system for users to tag fields on a tax return when reviewing for accuracy and completeness. The system is built around the concept of "Tags" attached to fields in the tax return. The following tags are available:

        For review

        The reviewer sees a potential problem and requires that checks be made to see if the information entered in the field is correct.

        Error

        The reviewer has determined that the information entered in the field is incorrect.

        Checked OK

        The reviewer has checked the return and believes that the information entered in the field is correct.

        Final Check

        The reviewer has checked the return and confirmed that the information entered in the field is correct. If the DT Max security features are being used, then only a user with the "Verify data and completed tax return" security right will be able to apply this tag.

      Besides being able to tag a field on the tax return, it is also possible to attach a brief note to the field (maximum of 400 characters). This can be used to provide details on why a field was tagged for revision or in error, for example.

      Please refer to the DT Max Knowledge base for additional details on the Field Review Feature.

    3. Right-click menus on the Tax return screen

    Further to the implementation of the DT Max review feature, there are now two different menus available on tax return pages when you click with the right button of your mouse (right-click). One type of menu is presented whenever you right-click on a field (field menu). The other type of menu is presented whenever you click anywhere on a tax return page other than on a field (page menu). Please refer to the DT Max Knowledge base for additional details on the Right-click menus on the tax return.

DT Max T1

Program certification

    DT Max is certified for paper filing under the following authorization numbers:

      Federal: RC-11-119

      Quebec: RQ11-TP55

Version highlights

    1. NAICS changes

      Further to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) update, the program will prompt you to choose the most appropriate code to describe the main revenue-generating business activity of the taxpayer. Use the keyword NAICS to enter the 6-digit numeric NAICS code that best describes the taxpayer's main revenue-generating business activity.

      N. B.: Make sure to re-enter the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes, as these codes have been modified.

    2. Dividends: Quebec data entry

      Starting in tax year 2011, the Quebec counterpart of the federal dividends entered through T-slips will no longer be compulsory. The program will default to the federal value if no entry is made for Quebec.

    3. Ontario Trillium Benefit

      In order to apply for the Ontario Trillium Benefit, you must complete the keyword Residence . Choose between "Owner", "Tenant" and " Student Residence " and complete the keywords accordingly.

The traditional four-page "jacket" as well as the schedules supported by Form T1-KFS (Keying Field Summary) are no longer required to be mailed to the CRA.

Any forms not mentioned in the above list will also be required so the CRA can manually process the income tax return.

    New forms

      Quebec:

        – TP-726.20.2 – Capital Gains Deduction on Resource Property
          As of the 2011 taxation year, DT Max will include the TP-726.20.2, Capital Gains Deduction on Resource Property. This form is used to calculate the allowable Capital Gains Deduction on dispositions of eligible resource properties in Quebec.

          A new keyword group, Resource-Hist has been added in order to enter the relevant historical information needed to complete the form.

          Current-year dispositions of eligible resource property indicated on an RL-11 or RL-15 will be entered by the software within the TP-726.20.2.

          A new keyword, ResourceProp , has also been added to indicate current-year dispositions of eligible resource properties that do not originate from slips.

        In order to select the person who is the owner, lessee or sublessee of the dwelling for purpose of Quebec Schedule H, use the keyword Dwelling.h in the file of the family head or the spouse who will claim the natural caregiver amount.

    DT Max T2

    Program certification

      Federal:

      For DT Max T2 version 15.01, the federal barcodes and the Corporation Internet Filing module have received full CRA certification valid for taxation years ending up to and including April 30, 2012 under the DT24 stamp.

      Quebec:

      Version 15.01 has also undergone an authorization process with Revenu Québec for the paper (including barcode form COR-17.U) and EFILE versions of the CO-17 return, and has been approved under number RQCO-1102.

      Alberta:

      Likewise, this version has received full certification for the RSI's (Return and Schedule Information) from Alberta's Tax and Revenue Administration (TRA) under the DT24 stamp. New to this version is the Net File module that now allows the electronic filing of Alberta corporate tax returns to the TRA (see Version highlights below).

    Version highlights

      1. Net File for Alberta corporate income tax filers

        Since July 8, 2011, Tax and Revenue Administration (TRA) offers Alberta corporate income tax filers the option of filing returns in electronic format.

        Any corporation that meets the following criteria will be eligible to netfile its Alberta corporate income tax return:

        • the return has a valid Alberta corporate account number,
        • the taxation year ends after December 31, 2007,
        • the return being netfiled is not an amended return, and
        • the tax return package does not include any of the following Alberta schedules:
          • at1 schedule 12 – Alberta income/loss reconciliation
          • at1 schedule 13 – Alberta capital cost allowance
          • at1 schedule 14 – Alberta cumulative eligible capital deduction
          • at1 schedule 15 – Alberta resource related deductions
          • at1 schedule 16 – Alberta scientific research expenditures
          • at1 schedule 17 – Alberta reserves
          • at1 schedule 18 – Alberta dispositions of capital property
          • at1 schedule 20 – Alberta charitable donations & gifts deduction
          • at1 schedule 21 – Alberta calculation of current year loss and continuity of losses

        An electronic return in Net File format can be submitted by a taxpayer or a service provider. There is no access code or registration required.

        Keep in mind that although the TRA refers to its electronic filing service as Net File, DT Max still refers to it as an EFILE service. For information on how to set up DT Max for the electronic filing of Alberta corporate income tax returns, please refer to the Corporation Internet filing with Tax and Revenue Administration section in the DT Max help and knowledge base.

      2. Mandatory entry of North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes for active corporations

        The integration of NAICS codes requires corporations to pick their main revenue-generating business activity. Active corporations that file their T2 returns either via the Internet or on paper using 2D bar codes must choose the most appropriate code to describe their main revenue-generating business activity.

        It is crucial that the most accurate business activity is selected the first time (using the keyword NAICS.act in the Activity keyword group), since the first year's code is carried forward to subsequent years, allowing for a simple validation of the description when no change in the main business activity occurs.

        Therefore, for subsequent years, the corporation should validate that the business description chosen for the last return filed is still accurate. If the last business description is still accurate, no further action will be required. The return may be transmitted electronically or printed in barcode format.

        If the last business description is not accurate, the corporation must select an updated business activity description. Failure to select the business activity will result in problems and errors when preparing the T2 return to be transmitted electronically or printed in barcode format.

        Should you have any questions to describe an active corporation's main revenue-generating business activity when filing the T2 return, please call the CRA Business Enquiries line at 1-800-959-5525.

      3. Barcodes on 2011 Quebec tax forms

        Starting with version 15.01, most Quebec tax forms will include a barcode at the bottom that will facilitate their identification and their processing.

      4. Change affecting keyword SR&EDPoolCF

        Should you have to use the keyword SR&EDPoolCF , we recommend that you activate the keyword in the data entry using the F11 key (or by clicking on the icon of the key with the plus sign, or by selecting Add keyword from the Edit menu), as this keyword which was part of a keyword group now stands alone.

      5. Changes affecting registered charity information returns (federal and Quebec)

        Should you have to use the keyword SR&EDPoolCF , we recommend that you activate the keyword in the data entry using the F11 key (or by clicking on the icon of the key with the plus sign, or by selecting Add keyword from the Edit menu), as this keyword which was part of a keyword group now stands alone.
