DT Max version 9.35 includes the T2 program for fiscal periods ending from 1994 to 2007 and fully supports corporation Internet filing (T2 and CO-17) and Ontario CT23 diskette or CD filing (D-File).

In this version...

DT Max T2

New feature: Federal T2 barcodes

    Starting with version 9.35, in accordance with CRA specifications, DT Max T2 generates two dimensional (2D) barcoding that is printed with the RSI (Return and Schedule Information) of all paper-filed corporate returns. Implementation of this state-of-the-art technology automates and simplifies the tax assessment process.

    CRA still encourages all taxpayers to adopt Corporation Internet filing as their first choice.

    T2 barcoding, printed by default in DT Max T2 for taxation years 2006 onward, appears on separate, numbered pages at the beginning of the RSI. The barcode contains the tax data present in the software at the time the print request is made. It is possible that a file contains more than one 2D barcode.

    RSI schedules are still to be submitted as a backup.

Program certification

    For DT Max T2 version 9.35, the federal RSI's (Return and Schedule Information), barcodes and the corporation Internet filing module have received full CRA certification valid through taxation year-ends until April 30, 2007, under the DT14 stamp.

    DT Max version 9.35 is also certified for Saskatchewan capital tax returns.
