The latest DT Max program update is now available for downloading. It features the T1/TP-1 program for the tax years 2006 to 2017 inclusively and the T2 program for fiscal periods ending from 2006 to 2018 and fully supports Corporation Internet Filing (T2, CO-17 and AT1).

Please note that in regard to the T1/TP-1 program, version 21.01 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 21.10 and made available 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 2018.

DT Max T1

  1. Program certification

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

    Federal: RC-17-119

    Quebec: RQ17-TP01

  2. Version highlights

    1. Client suggestions implemented in version 21.01

      1. Options replaced for keyword ELIG-ROOM in RRSP group, regarding the maximum eligible amount for RRSP/PRPP contributions for 2017

        Please note that the existing options for the keyword Elig-Room in the RRSP keyword group regarding the maximum eligible amount for RRSP/PRPP contributions for 2017 have been replaced by one single option, namely "RRSP/PRPP deduction limit for 2017".

      2. Drop-down menu of box 14+ of the T4E slip replaced by separate keywords

        To facilitate data entry and prevent miscalculations, the drop-down menu in box 14+ that was used to enter the amounts in boxes 14, 15, 17, 18 and 36 has been removed as of 2017, and separate keywords were created for each of the following boxes on the T4E slip:

      3. Estimated Old Age Security (OAS) payments

        A new in-house form Estimated Old Age Security (OAS) Payments has been implemented to provide an estimate of the Old Age Security (OAS) payments, including the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS). The estimates are calculated according to the taxpayer's situation on December 31 (marital status and annual income). By default, the program considers the taxpayer to be eligible to the full pension. If applicable, use the new keywords OAS-Marital-Status , OAS-Net-Income-OV and OAS-Yrs-Residence to modify the information used in the calculation of the estimated GIS and OAS amounts.

      4. Drop-down menu of boxes 151, 152+ and 159+ of federal T5013 and Quebec RL-15 slips replaced by separate keywords

        To simplify data entry, the drop-down menu from box 151, which is used to enter the amounts from boxes 151, 153, 154, 155 and 158 of the T5013 as well as box 12-2 of the RL-15 slip, has been removed. The following keywords have been created to replace each of the existing options:

        In addition, the drop-down menu of boxes 152+ and 159+, which was used to enter the amounts from boxes 152, 159, 163, 165, 222, 223, 224 and 225 related to capital gains reserves, has been removed. The following keywords have been created to replace each of the existing options:

      5. Quebec amount for severe and prolonged impairment in mental or physical functions (line 376) - Diagnostic added when keyword DISABILITY-Q is not used

        When the taxpayer's impairment is entered in the keyword group Infirmity and no option is selected for the keyword Disability-Q of this group, the program will consider by default the taxpayer to be eligible to the amount for severe and prolonged impairment in mental or physical functions on Quebec line 376. Therefore, the mention "(default)" has been added to the option "Use disability amount (default)", for the keyword Disability (federal) as well as for the keyword Disability-Q for Quebec.

        A diagnostic will also be generated if the taxpayer with an impairment files a Quebec return with no option selected for the keyword Disability-Q . Please consult our Notes and diagnostics section below to learn more.

        Note that the program no longer takes into account the option selected for the federal in the keyword Disability when claiming the credit on Quebec line 376, since the choice of whether to claim or not the disability amount might be different for the federal and for Quebec. It is therefore important to select the appropriate option for each of the two keywords Disability and Disability-Q , in order to ensure adequate processing in Quebec of the different tax credits that take the taxpayer's disability into account in their calculation, such as the tax credit for caregivers, the tax credits for work premium, the tax credit for respite to a natural caregiver and the amount for severe and prolonged impairment.

      6. Deemed disposition of property by an emigrant of Canada and election to defer the payment of tax on income relating to the deemed disposition of property

        When an individual severs enough residential ties and becomes a non-resident, paragraph 128.1(4)(b) of the ITA stipulates that this individual is deemed to have disposed of all his properties on the date of his departure at its fair market value (FMV). On the other hand, certain properties are excluded from this general rule. Such properties include immovable property situated in Canada, pension plans, annuities, registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs), pooled registered pension plans and tax-free savings accounts (TFSAs). For a complete listing, please consult subsection 128.1(10) of the ITA.

        The individual must report all Canadian and foreign properties that he owns on the date of departure if the FMV of his properties exceeds $25,000. To that effect, the individual must complete Form T1161, List of Properties by an Emigrant of Canada and attach it to his latest income tax return. In Quebec, the individual must also complete the prescribed form TP-785.2.5, Property Owned by an Emigrant.

        Since the individual is deemed to have disposed of all his properties, the capital gains (losses) then become taxable (deductible) and must be included in the income tax return of the year of departure. The gain (loss) is therefore calculated on the prescribed form T1243, Deemed Disposition of Property by an Emigrant of Canada. Quebec residents must also complete prescribed form TP-1033.2.A, Deemed Disposition of Property by an Emigrant.

        In fact, an individual who reports a large capital gain due to a deemed disposition must pay tax on that gain. To counteract this effect, it is possible to defer payment of this tax by making an election under subsection 220(4.5) of the ITA by completing the prescribed form T1244, Election, Under Subsection 220(4.5) of the Income Tax Act, to Defer the Payment of Tax on Income Relating to the Deemed Disposition of Property. Quebec residents must also complete prescribed form TP-1033.2, Election to Defer the Payment of Income Tax on Income Relating to the Deemed Disposition of Property. To take advantage of this election, the individual must provide sufficient security no later than on the balance-due day, i.e. April 30, of the year following the departure from Canada.

        It is important to add that, since it is possible for certain properties that are excluded from this rule to be calculated at a loss, paragraph 128.1(4)(d) of the ITA allows the individual to elect to make these excluded properties subject to this general rule. Thus, losses can be realized and used to offset the gains on other properties that are subject to the deemed disposition rule. The individual must then complete Form T2061A, Election by an Emigrant to Report Deemed Dispositions of Taxable Canadian Property and Capital Gains and/or Losses Thereon to make that election.

        Please note that it is already possible to use the above-mentioned prescribed forms with this version of DT Max.

      7. Optimization of the calculation of the deduction under subsection 20(11)

        If an amount of foreign income was withheld on an income earned in a country that has signed a tax treaty with Canada, the deduction under subsection 20(11) will not be allowed on the amount of withheld income that exceeds the tax treaty's rate. As of 2017, countries that have signed a tax treaty with Canada are identified with an asterisk (*). DT Max will take this information into account to automatically block the calculation of the deduction under subsection 20(11) for countries that have signed a tax treaty with Canada and will display a message to that effect in the Notes and diagnostics section. In order to change this default calculation by the program, use the new keyword Canada-Tax-Treaty to indicate whether or not the foreign country has signed a tax treaty with Canada.

      8. Keywords added to allow entry of dependant's information when transferring tuition fees from a dependant not processed (federal line 324)

        New keywords that allow users to enter the dependant's name, first name, SIN, birth date and relationship have been added to the keyword Tuition-Dep in the keyword group Tuition-Edu regarding transfers of tuition fees from a dependant not processed. This information will be carried over on the worksheet for federal line 324.

    2. Revised NAICS codes (IMPORTANT reminder)

      Please note that a revised version of the NAICS codes is available for 2017.

      For individuals who have reported business income in 2016, it is crucial to verify that the code that is carried forward to 2017 in the sub-keyword NAICS of the keyword Business-Id , in the keyword group Business , is still valid. If the option shown in your data no longer appears in the list, please delete the invalid code and select the code that most accurately describes the business's main revenue-generating activity. Consult the sections New options and Deleted options to learn about the new codes and the codes that were deleted.

    3. Designation of a property as principal residence (T2091(IND), T1255 and TP-274)

      Starting in 2017, the use of Form T2091(IND) or Form T1255, if applicable, is mandatory for any designation of a property as a principal residence, even if the property has been designated as a principal residence for all the years during which the individual was the owner.

      For a deceased individual, Form T1255 will be automatically generated by the program. However, you can generate Form T2091(IND) instead of Form T1255 by using the keyword DesignationForms in the keyword group Capital-Gains for options "4. Real estate & other depreciable property" and "7. Personal use property".

      In addition, certain data found on Form T2091(IND), Designation of a Property as a Principal Residence by an Individual (Other Than a Personal Trust) or on Form T1255, Designation of a Property as a Principal Residence by the Legal Representative of a Deceased Individual, will be from now on captured as selected financial data (SFD) for EFILE purposes with the tax return.

      In Quebec, the data from Form TP-274, Designation of Property as a Principal Residence, are now electronically filed along with the tax return.

    4. Principal residence - Elections under subsections 45(2) and 45(3) of the Income Tax Act

      When changing the use of a property, the individual might have to report a deemed disposition. However, there are certain cases where rules regarding the change in use do not apply. To learn more, please refer to guide T4037, Capital Gains.

      When the individual changes the use of his principal residence into a rental property or business property, he may choose not to be considered to have started using his principal residence as a rental or business property (an election under subsection 45(2) of the ITA and section 284 of the Quebec Tax Act). Thus, he is not required to report a capital gain when changing the use of the property. If he makes that election, he cannot claim capital cost allowance (CCA) for that property. To make that election, he must attach a letter to his tax return for the year during which the change in use took place. If the individual qualifies for the election and you select "Yes" in the keyword Change-In-Use.b from the keyword group Business regarding a rental income, DT Max will generate a pre-filled letter to be submitted to both the federal and Quebec governments that allows the individual to make that election. Since this election is made in the year of the change in use, this keyword is enabled only if you indicate that it is a first year of reporting a rental income in the keyword First-Last of the keyword group Business .

      Conversely, when the individual transforms a rental or business property into a principal residence, he can wait until the time of the sale of the property before reporting the disposition. To make this election under subsection 45(3) of the ITA and section 286.1 of the Quebec Tax Act, he must attach a letter to his income tax return for the year in which the property was actually sold. If the individual qualifies for this election and you select "Yes" in the keyword Change-In-Use.c from the keyword group Capital-Gains for a principal residence, DT Max will generate a pre-filled letter to be sent to both the federal and Quebec governments.

      You have completely converted your principal residence into a rental or business property and made the election under subsection 45(2) of the Income Tax Act (ITA) and the election under section 284 of the Quebec Taxation Act.

      By law, when you change the use of a property, you are deemed to have disposed of the property at its fair market value and immediately acquire it again for the same amount. The resulting capital gain or loss must be reported in the year in which the change of use occurs. This rule does not apply since you make the election under subsection 45(2) of the ITA, you are deemed not to have had a change of use.

      Hence, you do not have to report any capital gain for the year in which the change in use occurred.

      However, for the election to remain in effect, you cannot claim capital cost allowance on that property. If you claim capital cost allowance for that property, the election will be considered as cancelled on the first day of the year for which this deduction will be claimed.

      Under certain conditions, this choice allows you to designate the property as your principal residence for an additional period of up to four years following the change of use or, in certain situations, for an unlimited period, even if you do not use it as your principal residence during this period.

      %320 - Election pursuant to subsection 45(3) of the ITA

You mentioned that in the past this property was used to produce income and you have converted it completely to make it your principal residence.

      By law, when you change the use of a property, you are deemed to have disposed of the property at its fair market value and immediately acquire it again for the same amount. The resulting capital gain or loss must be reported in the year in which the change of use occurs. This rule does not apply since you make the election under subsection 45(3) of the ITA. This election allows you to defer the application of the deemed disposition to the date of the actual disposition of the property. This election also gives you the opportunity to designate this property as a principal residence for an additional period of time up to four years prior to the change of use, even if you do not use it as your principal residence during this period.

      Note that you cannot file an election under subsection 45(3) if you claimed capital cost allowance on this property for any tax years after 1984.

    Please refer to these knowledge base topics for a detailed review of tax changes implemented:

    Federal

    For DT Max T2 version 21.01, the federal barcodes and the Corporation Internet Filing module have received full CRA certification valid for taxation years ending up to and including May 31, 2018, under the DT36 stamp.

    The certification date has been extended to May 31, 2018.

    Alberta

    Likewise, this version has received full certification for the RSI (Return and Schedule Information), as well as for the Net File module that allows the electronic filing of Alberta corporate tax returns, from Alberta's Tax and Revenue Administration (TRA) under the DT36 stamp.

    Quebec

    Version 21.01 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-1706.

  2. Version highlights

    1. Electronically transmitting attachments to the Canada Revenue Agency

      Please note that, starting with this DT Max T2 release, the CRA has expanded their Attach-A-Doc service from insurance corporations to all corporations.

      When electronically transmitting a corporation's income tax return, the Canada Revenue Agency's (CRA) system can also accept the transmission of certain types of documents. The attachments are automatically submitted upon the successful transmission of the federal corporate return. For each attachment being submitted, you will be required to complete the information below:

      • The type of document being attached,

      • The file name being attached, and

      • A description of the attached file.

      The CRA will accept the following file types:

      • .pdf

      • .doc

      • .docx

      • .xls

      • .xlsx

      • .rtf

      • .txt

      • .jpeg

      • .tiff

      • .tif

      • .xps

      The number of attachments must match the number of file names provided and the total size, for all attachments, cannot exceed 150 Mb.

      The CRA will not accept an attachment if the associated federal corporate income tax return was filed more than 24 hours ago. Under such a situation, the document(s) would have to be mailed to the applicable tax centre.

      Note: The CRA's system can accept the transmission of a federal return but reject the associated attachment. You can confirm the acceptance of the attachment, within the data entry window, through the keyword Progress and the option Efile acknowledgement - federal attachment.

      For insurance corporations: Please note that the keyword group CRA-INS-ATTACH, which only related to insurance corporations, has been changed to FedEfile-Attach and, as such, clients will have to re-enter their data if they had attached documents when completing the federal income tax return for an insurance corporation.

      Whether efiling or paper filing, users are advised that failure to provide the supporting documentation at the time of filing could result in delays in processing their return, and may result in contact from the CRA.

    2. Electronic Filing of the AT1 Alberta Corporate Income Tax Return

      Please note that section 36.1 of the Alberta Corporate Tax Act has been amended for consistency with the federal provisions added in 2012 requiring a tax preparer to electronically file returns in circumstances where the tax preparer accepts consideration to prepare more than 10 returns. Like the federal rules, tax preparers may continue to file up to 10 returns other than by way of electronic filing.

      Section 37.4 has been added to the Act to impose a penalty on a tax preparer that fails to file a return electronically when required to do so. The penalty is $100 for each such failure and is consistent with the federal penalty imposed under section 162(7.3) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

      The amendments to section 36.1 of the Act in respect of tax preparers and new section 37.4 imposing penalties are effective in respect of returns for taxation years ending after December 31, 2017.

    3. Registration fee for the enterprise register (REQ) (Quebec line 441b)

      The registration fee for the enterprise register (line 441b of the Quebec Corporation Income Tax Return) will be indexed on January 1, 2018, as follows:

      • $88.00 for a corporation or a for-profit legal person, a mutual insurance company or other (formerly $87.00);

      • $40.00 for a cooperative (unchanged);

      • $34.00 for a non-profit legal person (incorporated association), a condominium association or other (unchanged).

    4. Schedule 200: reduction of small business tax rate

      Page 4 of Schedule 200 has been revised to reflect the reduction in the small business tax rate from 10.5% to 10% on January 1, 2018.

    5. Quebec instalments: inclusion of payment code for electronic payment

      On the Quebec monthly and quarterly instalments forms, DT Max has been certified to include a payment code for instalments. It allows DT Max to generate the payment code used for the payment of instalments. This payment code will allow a corporation to make an electronic payment of any amount of tax due to Revenu Québec.

      This document is also intended as a reminder of the importance of promoting payment via the Internet to corporations through online services offered by financial institutions. See guide SW-114 for details.

    6. Schedule 32 and Form T1174: increase of pensionable earnings

      Please note that for federal Schedule 32 - Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) Expenditures Claim and form T1174 - Agreement Between Associated Corporations to Allocate Salary or Wages of Specified Employees for Scientific Research and Experimental Development - SR&ED, the pensionable earnings for 2018 increased from $55,300 to $55,900.

    7. Schedule 427: restoration of full preferential treatment and increase of the general corporate tax rate for British Columbia corporations

      This form has been updated to reflect the September 11, 2017, budget changes with respect of the restoration of full preferential treatment after December 31, 2016, and the increase of the general corporate tax rate from 11% to 12% after December 31, 2017.

    8. Reminder from Revenu Québec: EFILE notes to financial statements for GIFI

      We would like to remind our users that they can use the keyword QcEfile-Attach to identify the file being attached to the corporation's Quebec return as a supporting document. The notes to the financial statements can be included as a .pdf file, instead of being submitted by mail in paper form.

    9. "UNVERIFIED" watermark on the Quebec tax return

      Revenu Québec has informed us that there are multiple users who submit the Quebec return with the watermark "Unverified". Please do not submit the return with this feature on as it causes processing delays. To access the feature, go to the Preferences menu / User's defaults / Miscellaneous tab / Verification requirements.

    10. Change affecting the Cumulative Eligible Capital Deduction (CEC)

      For the keyword CCA-Class , option 41 "Class 14.1 - 5% DB (after December 31, 2016)" has been deleted. The data that has been entered with this option will need to be re-entered in CCA-Class using option 1, "CEC (before 2017)/Class 14.1 - 7% (after 2016)".
