How do I import the previous year's tax file
prepared with UFile for Windows?
The ability to import the previous year's tax file prepared with
UFile for Windows into UFile ONLINE was introduced in the 2010 tax
year.
NOTE: It is only available for the current tax
year (i. e., 2019 ).

To carry forward all the information, it is very important
to save in PDF format the tax return of the Family Head
from the previous tax year.

"Start" from the bottom of the page.

10. Go to the following web page:
https://www.ufile.ca/
11. Log in to your account;
12. Click on "Start" tab located in the upper
right-hand corner of the screen.
13. Choose the option "Import an existing

NOTE: Any information entered prior to
conversion will be overwritten and replaced with the data carried
forward from your previous year's file. If you have not entered any
current year data or have no concerns about your data being
overwritten, then you may proceed.
If you have already prepared your return, and possibly paid for
it, please do not proceed as both the data entered and the payment
will be lost.
Furthermore, please be aware that the conversion cannot be
reversed.
===========================================
14. Click the "Browse" button, locate your 2018 UFile for
Windows tax file (*.u18), and click the "Open" button.
NOTE: It is very important that you browse to
locate your file. This will ensure that both the name and location
of the file are correct. You cannot just enter the name of the
file. The program also needs to know where the file is located on
your computer. By browsing, you will ensure that this information
is correct.
15. If your UFile for Windows file is protected by a password,
enter your password in the space provided.
16. Click the "Submit" button.
17. The file carried forward will open in UFile ONLINE.
