  Historical information |
CorpHistory opens a group for each prior taxation year, to give relevant historical data, that will help you compare data upon entry, the results of corporate tax calculations, and assess the financial position of the corporation.
The amounts entered in this group also enable DT Max to refer to prior years' results when required in calculating tax returns for current and future years.
All amounts in this group will be carried forward by DT Max, and should be entered only if DT Max has not been used to calculate previous T2 returns.
