LastName is used to enter the client's last or family name. By default, a dependant or spouse is given the last name of the family head or person to whom he or she is attached. If that is not correct, you can change or edit it.

See the Taxnet Pro™ T1 Line-by-Line Guide (subscription required):

FirstName

FirstName is used to enter the client's first or given name. Enter an asterisk "*" when no first name exists.

See the Taxnet Pro™ T1 Line-by-Line Guide (subscription required):

Relation

Use Relation to identify the relationship of this client to the family head and enter the family head's client number.

DT Max treats the family head and his/her spouse (spouse or common-law spouse) equally, but database organization requires one person from each family to be designated as family head. For a common law spouse, this box will be ticked on the tax return, whether or not the taxpayer is still legally single, married to someone else, divorced, or has any other legal married status.

When a family head, spouse or common law spouse is added using [F3], the correct Relation is assigned by DT Max.

The following options are applicable for the keyword Relation.

Common-law spouse of

Son of

Daughter of

Brother of

SIN

Use the keyword SIN to enter a client's social insurance number. When entering SINs, you do not need to enter the dashes or spaces, but you must enter nine (9) numbers. DT Max will check the validity of the SIN and warn the tax preparer if invalid. Even though DT Max will allow the entry of an invalid SIN, it is strongly suggested that you verify the SIN before printing the tax returns. If the actual SIN is not available, enter "000-000-000". This will enable the tax return to be processed in the interim, and is easily identifiable as a temporary SIN entry which, incidentally, will not be printed on the tax form.

DT Max will automatically allocate the number 000-000-000 to dependants. If a dependant has a valid SIN, or when they receive one, substitute it to the 000-000-000 entry.

An efile return will be rejected if either the taxpayer or their spouse has an invalid SIN or if either SIN is missing. An invalid SIN will delay the assessment process whether or not the return is efiled.

See the Taxnet Pro™ T1 Line-by-Line Guide (subscription required):

BirthDate

Use BirthDate to enter the client's date of birth. DT Max will use the format DD-MM-YY or DD-MM-YYYY as indicated on the screen. Use the four-digit year for all clients born in 1900 or earlier.

Hint: If you do not know the day and month, set them to zero. Unless the client has turned 65 or 18 during the year, this should allow you to calculate a correct tax return. As it will delay the processing of a tax return, make sure you enter the correct birth date before (printing and) filing.

Warning: If you do not know the year of birth, do not use "00" as a standard default for the year, DT Max will interpret that as meaning the taxpayer's birthday is in the year 2000. In choosing a birth date when the real birth date is unknown, choose a date which you know will accurately calculate the age exemptions, Old Age Security pension, CPP/QPP contributions, pension deduction and any other age dependant assumptions made by DT Max.

Make a note in the file reminding you that the birthdate entered was only approximate.

Because the CRA requires an exact match with their records, they make filing with an inexact match an efile error. Make sure that both you and the CRA have the correct birth date on both databases.

See the Taxnet Pro™ T1 Line-by-Line Guide (subscription required):

Status

With the Status keyword, enter the client's marital status as of December 31. Even if the taxpayer had a change of status in the year, you must choose the latest status of the client.

The following options are applicable for the keyword Status.

Single

Common law spouse

You have a common-law partner and are living common law if you live and have a relationship with a person of the same or opposite sex who is not your spouse, and any of the following applies.

has been living and having a relationship with you for at least 12 continuous months (status begins after the 12 months); or

lived with you previously as your spouse or common-law partner for at least 12 continuous months.
Note:Under proposed changes, the last condition will no longer exist. The effect of this proposed change is that a person (other than the parent of your child) will be your common-law partner only after your current relationship with that person has lasted at least 12 continuous months.

In this definition, "12 continuous months" includes any period that you were separated for less than 90 days because of a breakdown in the relationship.

Married

You are married and have a spouse when you are legally married.

Widowed

Separated

You are separated when you start living separate and apart from your spouse or common-law partner because of a breakdown in the relationship of at least 90 days, and you have not reconciled.

Divorced

Indicate whether or not the client is eligible for the Quebec amount for a person living alone (line 361).

To be eligible to claim an amount for a person living alone, the taxpayer must throughout 2025, maintained and ordinarily lived in a dwelling in which he lived

alone (that is, he did not share the dwelling at any time in 2025 with another person, such as a co-tenant, a mother or father, or a sister or brother),
or only with one or more dependent children.

Enter "Yes" if the client is eligible.

By default, the program will not claim this credit if the client is linked to a spouse, married or common law, unless you have indicated "Yes" with this keyword.

When a new client is entered and the Status indicated is other than "Married", DT Max prompts you with the Alone keyword. It must be entered because DT Max does not always have enough information to determine eligibility.

Drug-Insur

Use the keyword Drug-Insur to enter the information requested for the Quebec prescription drug insurance plan, as per schedule K.

Data in this keyword should be entered for all taxpayers over 17 years of age who are Quebec residents.

Since 1997, prescription drug insurance coverage has been compulsory for all Quebecers. Two types of insurance plans offer prescription drug coverage:

private plans (group insurance or employee benefit plans);
the public plan, administered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec.

About the public plan
Who is eligible?

adults age 18 to 64 who do not have access to a private plan on their own or through their spouse;
persons age 65 and over;
holders of a claim slip (carnet de réclamation) issued by the Ministère de l'Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale;
children of persons covered by the public plan, unless they have access to a private plan on their own.

Persons who turn 65 may continue to be covered by a private plan. If they maintain private coverage equivalent to that of the public plan, they must terminate their registration for the public plan by calling the Régie. If instead they opt for private supplemental insurance in addition to that provided by the public plan, they must remain registered with the public plan and therefore do not have to contact the Régie.

The following options are applicable for the keyword Drug-Insur.

[14] Group insurance plan - own (covered all year)

Use this option if the taxpayer was covered throughout the year by basic prescription drug insurance provided by a group insurance plan. In this case, code 14 will be entered on line 449 and the taxpayer will not be required to file Schedule K.

[16] Group insurance plan - spouse / parent (all year)

Use this option if the taxpayer was covered throughout the year by basic prescription drug insurance provided by a group insurance plan of which the spouse, the father or the mother was a member. In this case, code 16 will be entered on line 449 and the taxpayer will not be required to file Schedule K.

Quebec prescription drug insurance (all year)

Use this option if the taxpayer had no private group insurance at any time during the year and cannot take advantage of any of the exemptions described in Schedule K.
If the taxpayer was covered by insurance that does not reimburse the cost of the drugs, he will have to pay a contribution to the Quebec prescription drug insurance plan if he were covered by an insurance that does not provide basic coverage for his medications (i.e. coverage at least equivalent to that offered by the RAMQ). This is the case, for example, if the taxpayer only had supplemental insurance coverage that reimburses only expenses other than the cost of drugs covered by the Quebec prescription drug insurance plan: hospitalization expenses, transportation by ambulance, etc.
In principle, the taxpayer must participate in the financing of the Quebec prescription drug insurance plan, among other things, by paying a contribution (also called premium) when they file the tax return.

This information is used to determine whether or not the individual is required to pay the premium for the Quebec drug insurance plan. The individual does not have to complete Schedule K or pay a premium if any of the situations listed in the guide for line 447 applies to him or her. For the situations described in codes 27, 28, 29 or 31, the program will automatically enter the appropriate code in box 449 of his or her Quebec return, according to the individual's family situation and the amount entered on line 148. However, the individual is still required to pay the premium if he or she has not benefited from free medications throughout the year.

File-Jointly

The keyword File-Jointly tells DT Max whether or not to include the taxpayer's and spouse's drug insurance information together on a single schedule K. If they are filing jointly, this keyword should only be entered in the file of the taxpayer who will be filing schedule K.

The taxpayer to whom this schedule K belongs will pay any drug insurance contribution for both spouses. Alternatively, each spouse can file their own schedule K and make their individual contributions. Note that when both spouses are covered under a group insurance plan for the entire year, no attachment K is needed.

If both spouses file the drug insurance calculation on a single schedule K, the spouse whose return will enclose the schedule K must have the File-Jointly keyword completed with the option "Yes" selected.

The spouse is included in the calculation of the taxpayer's schedule K, using Drug-Insur data from the spouse's file. The tax preparer must enter Drug-Insur information in both the taxpayer's and spouse's file even if they will be filing on the same schedule K.
