1. Message from Revenu Québec regarding the MR-69 e-submission

   Following the first electronic receptions of the MR-69 forms, it turns out that several MR-69 forms were rejected at the time of their processing. As a result, the representatives will not be granted authorization nor power of attorney, even if the electronic submission of the MR-69 was successful. Representatives will not necessarily be notified of the rejection.

   Note that the MR-69 forms were rejected at the time of their processing for the following reasons:

   • Box 60 has not been checked. Make sure that this box is checked before having the form signed and scanned. To check this box, use the keyword Efile-MR-69 . This box can be checked by default for all your clients who are eligible for the MR-69 by enabling the appropriate option in the EFILE setup.

   • Documents were not properly scanned. Make sure that the corners are all displayed in full. Otherwise, Revenu Québec's tool will not be able to detect the form and will therefore reject the document, even if box 60 is checked.

   • The 2018 version of the form (and not the 2019 version) was received in PDF format. When submitting the MR-69 electronically for 2019, be sure to attach a 2019 form in PDF format, otherwise it will be rejected.

   In addition, in order to use the MR-69 electronic submission service, a representative must have a professional representative number and provide this information in box 16 of the MR-69 form. If box 16 is not completed, form MR-69 must be paper filed.

   1. Known issues fixed in version 23.10

      1. MB479, line 21

         As per the instructions for line 21 of form MB479, if the taxpayer is a homeowner, any education property tax credit advance they received must be subtracted from the amount of school taxes paid on their principal residence in Manitoba for 2019 and the net amount has to be entered on line 21.

         When an education property tax credit advance amount was being entered for the keyword HomeTaxAssis in the keyword group CREDITPROV for the province of Manitoba, the program was correctly carrying this amount over to line 22 of form MB479, but it was not calculating the net amount on line 21 by deducting this amount from the school tax entered for the keyword SchoolTaxes in the keyword group Residence . This problem was corrected in version 23.10.

         Note that this correction only affects line 21; it does not apply to lines 32 and 44. As per the instructions for lines 32 and 44, the program correctly reports the amount of gross school taxes, without subtracting the Manitoba education property tax credit advance.

      2. MB479, lines 32 and 44

         Unlike line 21 of form MB479, it is not the amount of school taxes paid for 2019 that must be entered on lines 32 and 44, but rather the amount of gross school taxes assessed that apply on the residence, i.e. the amount that is part of the property tax determined for the principal residence in Manitoba for 2019.

         If the amount of gross school taxes assessed that apply to the principal residence is different from the amount paid, please enter it in the new keyword SchoolTaxAssessed added in the keyword group Residence for homeowners in Manitoba. If an amount is entered in this new keyword, this amount will be carried over to lines 32 and 44, if applicable. Otherwise, the amount entered in the keyword SchoolTaxes will be carried over to lines 32 and 44.

   2. Correction brought to line 43 of Quebec Schedule F

      As requested by Revenu Québec, the following correction has been made in the software for the 2019 tax return:

      • For line 43 of Quebec Schedule F, pertaining to the deduction for QPP and CPP contributions and QPIP premiums, the portion of the deduction pertaining to employment income must not be taken into account when calculating the contribution to the Health Services Fund.

      Note that, according to information from Revenu Québec, the paper copy of the form will not be adjusted this year to account for this correction.

3. New keywords

   1. In the keyword group Residence , pertaining to the option “Owner” for Manitoba residents :

      SchoolTaxAssessed : Amount of gross school taxes part of the property tax assessed for your principal residence

4. New options

   1. For the keywords IndianExempt , pertaining to the Status Indians' exempt income:

      Social assistance from a First Nation (T90, Line 12)

      Social assistance payments received from the band council (not included in a T5007). The amount entered will be carried over on line 12 of the T90, Income Exempt under the Indian Act.
