We have updated the T5013 Schedule 8 to the 2019 version.
The T5013 partnership schedules are included in eForms Enterprise.

Feburary 27, 2020 (Production

This release is optional for all users. It may apply if you prepare T2202 slips. This release allows you to prepare individual T2202 slip PDFS using the SIN
as the password. It also makes available a function so invalid SIN numbers on the T2202 can be zeroed out on demand.
This new release also clears up some spurious warnings generated during the creation of the XML.
|
Feburary 10, 2020 (Production
Release 2019.1.2.117) |
|
1 |
We corrected a problem with the printing of the T2202 Slip where the filer account number (Box 15) was being printed on the student copy. CRA requires that this field be left blank on all printed copies.
|
|
2 |
We corrected a problem with the printing of the T2200 report. The contact phone number extension was missing from the report.
|
Feburary 3, 2020 (Production
Release 2019.1.2.115) |
|
1 |
The import from 2019 RL-3 XML files did not properly import the interest from Canadian Sources amount.
|
|
2 |
The import from 2019 T5 and T5008 XML files did not properly import the SIN or business number fields.
|
|
3 |
We corrected an issue with the preparation of the T5008 XML file. A critical error was shown during the XML creation for T5008 slips issued to a trust even if the data was entered correctly.
|
January 24, 2020 (Production
Release 2019.1.2.113) |
|
1 |
We corrected a problem on the printed T2202 slip where the filer account number (Box 15) would have been left blank or filled with the school's regular account number (RP Number) instead of the expected RZ number.
Please install eForms release 113 before printing your T2202 slips.
As a work around, you may also go to Company/Company Setup and fill in the 'Account Number' field with
your RZ number. You will also have to fill in the field marked 'Account number for T2202 (RZ)' with that same number.
The XML preparation is not affected by this issue. It is produced without errors.
|
January 6, 2020 (Production
Release 2019.1.2.111) |
|
1 |
We corrected a problem in the Lite and Basic versions of eForms where the word 'SIGNATURE' printed on the bottom of
several CRA and RQ summary forms.

Revenue Quebec has issued an updated rate for the calculation of the dividend tax credit on RL-3, RL-16 and RL-25 slips. Installing this new release will update the rates in your copy of eForms.

This release of AvanTax eForms has been issued to showcase several new features we recently added. It is an optional update. The rates and constants reflect 2019 legislation and all forms printing / XML output is still in 2018 format but may be used for filing 2019 returns.

CRA has announced that for tax years 2019 and later, the T2202A form will be replaced with the T2202 (Tuition and Enrolment Certificate). This form is similar to the original T2202A with the exception of the following:
- The form now must be submitted to CRA. In the past the T2202A was distributed to the student only. Now it must be also be submitted to CRA
- Additional information must be collected from the student. Specifically, the students S.I.N. must be included on the form.
The T2202 form has now been added to AvanTax eForms. The current release allows you to input data for this form and print, but you will not be able to produce the XML for electronic submission until the early January release.

Converting Prior Year Program and User Settings
Your tax slip data can be rolled
forward from AvanTax eForms 2019 by selecting
Convert Last Year's Databases from the Tools menu or
Convert a 2018 Database from
the File menu. AvanTax eForms does not
automatically import user settings from the previous
year's software during the installation process.
You
may use Import User Information
from Last Year's Program in the Tools menu to import user
information.
System Requirements
AvanTax eForms is designed
for and tested on the following Windows platforms:
Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10.
The Microsoft .NET
Framework Version 4.0 or higher must be installed on the
computer. If, during program installation, a Network
Administrator Installation is selected, the .NET Framework
installation package
will be copied to the network location and will be
installed if required when NETNODE.EXE is run. If a Workstation Installation
is selected and the Framework is not installed, you
will be prompted to download the .NET
Framework installation package from the
Internet.
Installing AvanTax eForms
If you downloaded the install file (eForms2019Setup.exe) from
www.avantax.ca, simply run it and follow the instructions. If you are installing from a CD, insert the CD and wait a few
seconds for the setup program to start up. If it does not start
automatically, run D:SETUP.EXE (replacing D: with the drive
letter of your CD drive). Follow the on-screen instructions. If you are
running Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10, you may have to right click on
the installation file and select "Run as
administrator" to start the installation.
Network Installation
If you want to run AvanTax eForms from more than one workstation,
you can do a Workstation installation on each
computer, but for ease of installation and
centralizing subsequent program updates, it is
recommended that you install the program on a
network drive where it can be accessed by all
network users. This type of installation is
called a Network Administrator installation.
When you start the installation, select "Network Administrator" as the
type of installation and complete the installation
to a network drive. Then run NETNODE.EXE from each
workstation to install the program on the
workstations. A shortcut will be created on the
workstation's desktop and in the Start menu.
When installed as a "node",
AvanTax eForms
can also run in
off-line mode, which allows laptop users to run
the program when out of the office (accessing
local data and user settings), and then
reconnect to the network when back in the
office.
Registering AvanTax eForms
To register this copy of the program,
simply enter the unique authorization code issued to
you by ELM Computer Systems. Until this code is
entered, the program will print "VOID" on the slips
and summaries, and some of the features of AvanTax
eForms
Standard or Enterprise will be unavailable. You may
continue to use AvanTax eForms without registering
the program. All the data you enter will be saved.
The opportunity to register will be available every
time you start the program
until registration has been completed.
Installing
Adobe Acrobat Reader
AvanTax eForms uses the free
Adobe Acrobat Reader for viewing and printing
returns (slips and summaries). You must have Acrobat 5.x or above. To install or
upgrade Acrobat Reader you may download Acrobat Reader from Adobe's
website http://get.adobe.com/reader.
If you
have difficulty downloading or installing the software, visit
Adobe's website at www.adobe.com.
