The latest DT Max program update is now available for downloading. It features the T1/TP-1 program for the tax years 2002 to 2014 inclusively and the T2 program for fiscal periods ending from 2001 to 2015 and fully supports Corporation Internet Filing (T2, CO-17 and AT1).

Please note that in regards to the T1/TP-1 program, version 18.01 supports paper filing but does not support EFILE transmission due to its early release date.

DT Max T1

1. Program certification

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

Federal: RC-14-119

Quebec: RQ14-TP74

2. Version highlights

  1. Enhancements

    1. Keyword group RL-10 : New error diagnostic

      When amounts pertaining to shares of the Fonds de solidarité des travailleurs du Québec (FTQ)(boxes A to F) are entered together with those pertaining to shares of Fondaction under the same keyword group L-10 , an error diagnostic will be displayed to avoid errors regarding the data entry.

    2. Keyword HBP-LLP-REPAY deleted RE : acquisition of FTQ shares (RRSP)

      The keyword HBP-LLP-REPAY has been deleted. From now on, the RRSP contribution must be entered under the keyword RRSP-FTQ. This way, the HBP or LLP repayment will be calculated automatically according to the data entered in the keyword group RRSP .

    3. New error prevention report for the carryforward of donations

      An error prevention report has been implemented to warn users that, this year, they must confirm the amount of the donation carried forward - for both the additional tax credit for an initial large cultural donation and the tax credit for cultural patronage - by selecting the appropriate keyword in keyword group Donations-CF (see the New keywords section for details), since for tax year 2014, it is the amount of the donation that is carried forward and not the credit amount. In this case, DT Max will convert the credit carried forward in 2013, which applies for the additional tax credit for an initial large cultural donation as well as for the tax credit for cultural patronage. If the taxpayer uses the appropriate keyword in the keyword group Donations-CF to confirm the donation amount carried forward, DT Max will use this amount for purposes of the calculation and the carryforward.

3. Pre-assessment and post-assessment review contact methods (Federal)

The CRA has removed the option "Contact with the electronic filer by fax"". As a result, this option will no longer be available within the keywords Fed-Pre-Assess and Fed-Post-Assess as well as within the DT Max EFILE defaults. If you were using this option in a prior version, please choose a new keyword option (if applicable) and access your EFILE defaults to select a new contact method for review.

4. New forms

Federal:

  • CPT20 - Election to Pay Canada Pension Plan Contributions

    Beginning in tax year 2014, DT Max will generate Form CPT20, "Election to Pay Canada Pension Plan Contributions".

    This form identifies the income amounts for which the individual is electing to contribute to the Canada Pension Plan. To generate this form, use the new keyword group CPT20 . Refer to the New options section for more details.

  • Schedule 1A – Family Tax Cut

    This form is used by spouses who wish to split their taxable income up to $50,000. The non-refundable tax credit that may be obtained allows a tax cut for families that cannot exceed $2,000. To be eligible for this new tax feature, the following conditions must be met:

    • both spouses were not living separate or apart because of a breakdown in their relationship for a period of 90 days or more including December 31, 2014;
    • the spouses were both residents of Canada on December 31, 2014;
    • one of the spouses must also ordinarily live throughout the year with their child who is under 18 years of age at the end of the year.

    Please note that there are no keywords needed in order to generate this schedule. DT Max will perform the required optimization as soon as conditions are met. On the other hand, this non-refundable tax credit may be claimed on either the family head's or the spouse's tax return. To do so, simply use the keyword Control.op located under the keyword group Optimize and select the spouse who wishes to claim the credit.

Quebec:

  • TPF-1.Z – Keying Summary for Form TP-1029.ER-V and Form TP-1029.LR-V

    Following the introduction of new tax credits LogiRénov (2014) and ÉcoRénov (2013), a new keying summary was introduced this year, containing all the relevant information pertaining to these two forms.

  • TP-1029.LR - LogiRénov Home Renovation Tax Credit 2014

    Use this form if you wish to claim the LogiRénov tax credit on line 462 of your 2014 tax return.

    To qualify for this tax credit, the total eligible expenses paid that are related to the renovation of an eligible residence must exceed $ 3,000. The maximum amount of credit that can be granted is $2,500 for the residence. If the taxpayer claims the tax credit on more than one eligible residence (for example, if he made the choice mentioned in section 2.4), he must complete a copy of this form for each eligible residences for which he is claiming the tax credit.

Manitoba:

  • T1256-2 - Manitoba Employee Share Purchase Tax Credit

    Use this form if you wish to claim the new Manitoba Employee Share Purchase Tax Credit. In order to claim this credit, you should have received an employee share purchase plan (ESOP) receipt. The first $27,000 of credits you earned in the year are refundable. Any unused amount can be claimed as a non-refundable tax credit in the year, or can be carried forward for ten years or carried back for three years. However, you cannot carry this credit to a tax year before 2014.

Quebec:

  • Line 395 Work Chart - Tax credits for donations and gifts

    A new work chart has been integrated into DT Max as instructed by Revenu Québec, according to which an individual must complete work chart 395 if he has made cash donations in 2014 to one of the following donees: a registered charity, a registered amateur athletic association or a recognized political education organization, and he is not claiming the additional tax credit.

Bankruptcy forms (Quebec)

The result of the CPP contributions payable on self-employment and other earnings of Schedule 8 is negative. You may have an overpayment. In this situation, the CRA does not want an amount on line 448 and wants to calculate it for you. The CPP overpayment you should receive from CRA is $(amount).""

  • TP-1029.LR - Election to Pay Canada Pension Plan Contributions [No, Yes]

7. New diagnostics

  1. Notes and diagnostics

    Federal:

    TP-1029.ER - ÉcoRénov Tax Credit

    You entered the amount of credit claimed by the other co-owners of the dwelling in 2013 (line 108 of the 2013 form TP-1029.ER). According to the data entered, the amount claimed by the other co-owners of the dwelling in 2013 is higher than the total amount of credit requested for the dwelling in 2013. DT Max limited the amount on line 111 of Form TP-1029.ER. Please review your data entry.

    Contributions to an amateur athlete trust (AAT)

    You entered an income contributed in 2014 to an AAT.

    You can make an election to have income that was contributed to an AAT in 2011, 2012 and 2013 also qualify as earned income. Your RRSP limit will be recalculated for each of these years and any additional RRSP room will be added to your RRSP contribution room for 2014.

    You must make the election in writing before March 3, 2015 (include a statement from the trustee identifying the contributions made to the AAT), and send your election to:

    Pension Workflow Section,
    Ottawa Technology Centre,
    875 Heron Road,
    Ottawa ON K1A 1A2

    T1013 - Authorizing or Cancelling a Representative

    The program did not generate Form T1013 because it is specified with the keyword Authorize that the form has already been sent for all future years. This option prevents DT Max from automatically generating Form T1013 by default. Use the keyword Authorize to make a new application or cancel the authorization of a representative.

    Quebec:

    Q462 - [Code 28] Tax credit for senior's activities

    DT Max did not allow the tax credit for senior's activities. This credit can be claimed only if the taxpayer is 70 or older and the net income does not exceed $ 40,000.

    Q476 - Refund transferred to your spouse

    DT Max did not allow the refund transferred to your spouse because you have indicated that the taxpayer on December 31, 2014, had no spouse.

    MR-69 - Power of Attorney, Authorization to Communicate Information, or Revocation

    The program did not generate Form MR-69 because it is specified with the keyword Authorize that the form has already been sent for all future years. This option prevents DT Max from automatically generating Form MR-69 by default. Use the keyword Authorize to make a new application or cancel the authorization of a representative.

  2. Error prevention report

    Federal:

    F395 Search and rescue volunteers amount

    An amount has been entered in box 87 of the T4 group regarding the exemption granted to a search and rescue volunteer.

    Consequently, DT Max considers the taxpayer to be an eligible search and rescue volunteer and has claimed the search and rescue volunteer amount on line 395.

    Since this assumption may not be correct, you must confirm by using the keyword Volunteer that the taxpayer was an eligible search and rescue volunteer during the year and completed at least 200 hours of eligible search and rescue volunteer services with one or more organizations in the year. If the taxpayer should NOT be considered an eligible search and rescue volunteer, you MUST use the keyword Volunteer to indicate that the taxpayer should not be considered an eligible search and rescue volunteer. DT Max will therefore claim the search and rescue volunteer exempt amount reported in box 87 of the T4 instead of the search and rescue volunteer amount on line 395.

    F362 Volunteer firefighters' amount

    An amount has been entered in box 87 of the T4 group regarding the exemption granted to volunteer firefighters.

    Consequently, DT Max considers the taxpayer to be an eligible volunteer firefighter and has claimed the volunteer firefighters' amount on line 362.

    Since this assumption may not be correct, you must confirm by using the keyword Volunteer that the taxpayer was an eligible volunteer firefighter during the year and completed at least 200 hours of eligible volunteer firefighting services with one or more fire departments in the year. If the taxpayer should NOT be considered an eligible search and rescue volunteer firefighter, you MUST use the keyword Volunteer to indicate that the taxpayer should not be considered an eligible volunteer firefighter. DT Max will therefore claim the volunteer firefighter exempt amount reported in box 87 of the T4 instead of the volunteer firefighters' amount on line 362.

    CPT20 - Election to Pay Canada Pension Plan contributions

    Warning

    The amount of employment earnings shown on all T4 slips on line 1 of the CPT20 form does not equal the employment income on line 101 of the federal return.

    CPT20 - Election to Pay Canada Pension Plan contributions

    Warning

    The letter designation of the type of employment is missing for T4's income.

    You should select the option Yes with the keyword Election-CPP in all T4 slips and specify the type of employment with the keyword Type-of-Employ .

    F330 Medical expense tax credit

    Amount of medical expenses needed to be eligible for the medical expense tax credit if these expenses are claimed on the spousal tax return. A work chart is provided to show the calculation of the amount of medical expenses required to qualify for the medical expense tax credit.

    Quebec:

    Q390 - Tax credit for volunteer firefighters and search and rescue volunteers

    An amount has been entered in box L-2 of the T4 group regarding the exemption granted to volunteer firefighters and search and rescue volunteers.

    Consequently, DT Max considers the taxpayer to be an eligible volunteer firefighter and/or search and rescue volunteer and claimed the volunteer firefighters' and search and rescue volunteers tax credit on line 390.

    Since this assumption may not be correct, you must confirm by using the keyword Volunteer that the taxpayer was an eligible volunteer firefighter or a search and rescue volunteer during the year and completed at least 200 hours of eligible volunteer firefighting services or eligible search and rescue volunteer services in the year. If the taxpayer should NOT be considered an eligible volunteer firefighter and/or search and rescue volunteer firefighter, you MUST use the keyword Volunteer to indicate that the taxpayer should not be considered an eligible volunteer. DT Max will therefore claim the volunteer firefighter and search and rescue volunteers exempt amount reported in box L-2 of the RL-1 instead of the volunteer firefighters' and search and rescue volunteers tax credit on line 390.

    RL-10 - Tax credit for a labour-sponsored fund

    According to the keyword entry made for the RL-10 in the T-Slip group, you entered amounts related to shares in the Fonds de solidarité des travailleurs du Québec (FTQ) (boxes A to F) and amounts related to shares in Fondaction (boxes G to L2).

    You should have amounts only for shares in the Fonds de solidarité des travailleurs du Québec (FTQ) or for shares in Fondaction.

    Line 43 - Schedule V - Part B. Additional tax credit for a large cultural donation

    We recommend that you verify the carryforward of the additional tax credit for a large cultural donation. DT Max carried forward the additional tax credit not used with the keyword CR-AMOUNT-QUE.AD . For 2014, the credit carried forward is converted as an amount. In such a case, you must re-enter the eligible amount of the gift made in 2013 that you can carry forward to 2014 in the new keyword AmountCF-Que.ad .

    Line 51 - Schedule V - Part C. Tax credit for cultural patronage

    We recommend that you verify the carryforward of the tax credit for cultural patronage.

    DT Max carried forward the tax credit not used with the keyword CR-AMOUNT-QUE.MD .

    For 2014, the credit carried forward is converted as an amount. In such a case, you must re-enter the eligible amount of the gift made in 2013 you can carry forward to 2014 in the new keyword AmountCF-Que.md .

  3. Optimization report

    Federal:

    F349 - Donations (year of death)

    DT Max has reduced the claim for charitable donations on the federal return, as the amount entered is not needed in its entirety to minimize your taxes. The excess has been carried forward, and can be used to reduce taxes in the previous year or used on the optional returns.

    F395 - Search and rescue volunteers' amount

    DT Max has determined that, as a search and rescue volunteer, it was more advantageous to claim the search and rescue volunteers' amount on line 395 of Schedule 1 and to include on line 101 the income exemption related to search and rescue volunteers' duties (T4 box 87).

    F185 - UCCB amount designated to a dependant

    The taxpayer was a single parent on December 31, 2014. DT Max has determined that you can choose to include all UCCB amounts you received in 2014 in the income of the dependant for whom the amount for an eligible dependant (line 305 of Schedule 1) is being claimed. If there is no claim for the amount for an eligible dependant, you can choose to include all UCCB amounts in the income of a child for whom the taxpayer received the UCCB. If you choose this option, use the keyword Transfer-OV in the designated child's file and select the option T1 - UCCB designation.

    F210 – Pension income splitting

    The DT Max optimization has determined that the taxpayer is eligible for the pension income splitting and the family tax cut on the federal tax return. DT Max has determined it was more advantageous to claim the pension income splitting and calculated the amount of the split pension income and completed form T1032. If you want to change the program's election, use the keyword Optimize and select the "T1 - Schedule 1A - Family tax cut" or the "Split pension income" option.

    F220 - Allowable deduction of support payments made

    The taxpayer was separated for part of 2014 because of a breakdown in the relationship. The DT Max optimization has determined that it was more advantageous to claim the deductible support payments made in the year on line 220 than to claim the spouse or common-law amount on line 303 of the federal tax return. If you want to change the program's optimization, use the keyword Optimize .

    F423 - Family tax cut

    The DT Max optimization has determined that the taxpayer is eligible for the family tax cut on the federal tax return. DT Max calculated the amount of the family tax cut and completed Schedule 1A.

    If you want to change the program's election, use the keyword Optimize and select the "T1 - Schedule 1A - Family tax cut" option.

    F423 - Family tax cut

    The DT Max optimization has determined that the taxpayer is eligible for the family tax cut or the pension income splitting on the federal tax return. DT Max has determined it was more advantageous to claim the family tax cut and calculated the amount of the family tax cut and completed Schedule 1A. If you want to change the program's election, use the keyword Optimize and select the "T1 - Schedule 1A - Family tax cut" or the "Split pension income" option.

    Quebec:

    Q390 - Tax credit for volunteer firefighters and search and rescue volunteers T2390

    DT Max has determined that, as a volunteer firefighter and/or a search and rescue volunteer, it was more advantageous to claim the tax credit for volunteer firefighters and search and rescue volunteers on line 390 and to include on line 101 the income exemption related to volunteer firefighter and search and rescue volunteers duties (RL-1 box L-2). If you wish to override this choice, use the keyword Optimize and select the option "TP1 - Firefighters' tax credit and search and rescue (Q390) ".

    The CRA has brought to our attention that there are returns being filed with the answer "No" at line 070 of Schedule 200 ("Is this the first year of filing after incorporation?"). However, although the corporation has answered "No" due to the fact that this is not the first year of filing after incorporation, there are no returns filed/assessed for prior tax years.
