Release Notes

Modifications Made to Version 4.1

The modifications made to version 4.1 correct three problems detected in version 4.0:

  • The problem that resulted in the password not being saved when creating a password-protected PDF document containing at least one client letter has been corrected.
  • Data entry in cells that have the advanced search list option has been corrected to retain the value entered in the cell or selected in the user’s list (e.g. entering a NAICS code).
  • When changing the display of a taxpayer in the Properties dialog box (F11) of a client file, the return status display has been corrected to display the return status of the selected taxpayer.
    Note: If you had modified return statuses in version 4.0 of the program using the Properties dialog box (F11), access the Client Manager and make sure that all return statuses comply with the changes that were made in this dialog box. If some of the statuses do not comply with the changes made, modify them in batch directly in the Client Manager.

TaxprepConnect for the 2018 tax season

Important dates

Federal

February 18, 2019 – The Auto-fill T1 return service will open. The CRA tax data has been available for download using TaxprepConnect since version 2.0 of Personal Taxprep 2018. This year, the list of information relating to income tax has been enhanced to include:

  • The prior-year RRSP contributions history;
  • The province of residence on December 31, 2017;
  • A new indicator in the “Client Data Enquiry (CDE)” section indicating that a non-resident account is related to the taxpayer under Part XIII tax.

Québec 

March 4, 2019 – The Tax Data Download service opened. The Revenu Québec tax data can be downloaded using TaxprepConnect commencing with version 3.0 of Personal Taxprep 2018. This year, the list of tax data made available for download by Revenu Québec has been enhanced to include all additional information boxes for RL-3, RL-16 and RL-25 slips.

Auto-fill T1 return – Downloading prior-year data

It will now be possible to download tax data from the previous three years (2015, 2016 and 2017). To download data of a given year, you will have to use the Personal Taxprep program of the year in question.

Note that only data on slips of prior years will be available; data that does not relate to a specific year, such as carried forward balances, will not be available.

Tax Data Download of Revenu Québec

For the 2018 taxation year, you will be able to download a taxpayer’s data without having to use a download code. To do so, a valid MR-69 form will have to be sent beforehand to Revenu Québec.

Note that you can still get a download code with Revenu Québec, as in the past, and use it to download a taxpayer’s tax data.

T3 Slips Reconciliation (Jump Code: CONNECT T3 REC)

Two new tables containing reconciled copies of the previous year now display in the form when the client file is rolled forward and reconciled copies were created in the previous year. This addition now allows the program to automatically group the downloaded T3 slips and/or RL-16 slips based on the previous-year aggregate, where applicable.

In addition, the number of downloaded T3 slips and

RL-16 slips aggregated in the reconciled copies of the previous year has also been added to allow for the comparison with the number of downloaded and aggregated T3 slips and RL-16 slips this year.

T5 – Statement of Investment Income (Jump Code: T5)

The field “Description of securities included” has been added to allow you to enter a brief description of the investments that are reported on the applicable T5 slips. This new field can be used to make it easier to identify the T5 slips from one year to the other, because the value in that field will be rolled forward and will not be overwritten during the TaxprepConnect download, the CCH Scan import or the Taxprep slips data import.

Top

Modification related to CCH Scan and the Taxprep slips data import

T5013 – Statement of Partnership Income (Jump Code: T5013)

The field “Description of securities included” has been added to allow you to enter a brief description of the investments that are reported on the applicable T5013 slips. This new field can be used to make it easier to identify the T5013 slips from one year to the other, because the value in that field will be rolled forward and will not be overwritten during the CCH Scan import or the Taxprep slips data import.

Top

Improve Your Productivity

ID – Identification and Other Client Information (Jump Code: ID)

Lines to enter the cellular number and the e-mail address for the spouse have been added to the “Spouse – Identification” section of the taxpayer’s Identification form. They were previously found in the spouse’s return only.

SCENARIOS (Jump Code: SCENARIOS)

Delete buttons have been added in the four tax scenarios worksheets (SCENARIOS, QSCENARIOS, CPLSCEN and QCPLSCEN). These buttons allow you to reset data of a scenario transferred in a column. The prior version did not allow for emptying a column in which data had been copied, but only to copy a new scenario again.

Modifications Made to Forms

Federal

GST370 – Abolition of the 12% HST rebate (Jump Code: GST 370)

Form GST370, Employee and partner GST/HST rebate application, has been updated as a result of the release by the CRA of a new version of the form. The 12% HST rebate can no longer be claimed. This rate was in effect in British Columbia from July 1, 2010, to March 31, 2013.

Before the update of the form, a resident of British Columbia could apply for a 12% HST rebate on the capital cost allowance (CCA) for an automobile purchased between July 1, 2010, and March 31, 2013.

The CCA amount on which the HST rebate is calculated is computed in Forms T2042 AUTO, T2121 AUTO, T2125 AUTO and T777 AUTO. For a resident of British Columbia who had acquired a vehicle between July 1, 2010, and March 31, 2013, and was eligible for an HST rebate, the CCA amount claimed was considered as eligible for a 12% HST rebate, and an application for a rebate was made in Form GST370.

Following the update of Form GST370, for the same situation, only the GST rebate will be calculated at a rate of 5%.

T1229 – Statement of Resource Expenses and Depletion Allowance (Jump Code: 1229)

Form T1229 was modified to include the calculation of the additional deductions of 15% for accelerated Canadian development expenses and 5% for Canadian oil and gas property expenses. These deductions were introduced on November 21, 2018, by the federal government, when the Fall Economic Statement 2018 was published.

These deductions can be claimed for expenses incurred by the taxpayer after November 20, 2018, or for expenses renounced in favour of the taxpayer by an issuing corporation under a flow-through shares agreement made after November 20, 2018.

Unnumbered boxes were added to the T101 and T5013 slips to allow you to enter the expense amounts qualifying for these additional deductions, if they were provided by the issuers of the slips. You can also enter the expense amounts qualifying for the additional deductions directly in Section II of Form T1229.

The amounts of deductions claimed in 2017 for cumulative Canadian development expense (CCDE) and cumulative Canadian oil and gas property expense (CCOGPE) must be taken into account in the calculation of the additional deductions. Roll forward of these amounts was added in version 4.0 of Personal Taxprep 2018. However, when expense amounts qualifying for the additional deductions were entered in a client file rolled forward in a prior version of Personal Taxprep 2018 or in a new client file, a diagnostic prompts you to add the amounts of deductions claimed in 2017.

Québec

Q1206 – Tax on Split Income – Québec (Jump Code: Q1206)

The non-refundable tax credit for severed and prolonged impairment in mental and physical functions was added to the two credits that were deductible from tax on split income before the 2018 taxation year, i.e. the dividend tax credit and the foreign tax credit. This addition aims at harmonizing the calculation of the Québec tax on split income with the federal calculation.

Q391 – Tax Credit for Experienced Workers (Jump Code: Q391)

The 2019-2020 Québec Budget, tabled on March 21, 2019, introduces new calculation rules with respect to experienced workers. As of the 2019 taxation year, the tax credit for experienced workers is renamed tax credit for career extension. The age of eligibility for the tax credit will be lowered from 61 to 60. For workers aged 60 to 64, the maximum amount of eligible work income on which the tax credit is calculated will be raised to $10,000. This maximum amount remains $11,000 for workers aged 65 or over.

The new rules have been integrated to the program for early-filed returns for 2019 (death and pre bankruptcy) and for the Planner Mode.

QC Resources – Resource Statement – Québec (Jump Code: QRES)

Form QC Resources, Resource Statement – Québec has been modified to include the calculation of the additional deductions of 15% for accelerated Canadian development expense and 5% for accelerated Canadian oil and gas property expense. These deductions have been introduced by the federal Government on November 21, 2018, at the time of the publication of the Fall Economic Statement 2018. The harmonization of these measures by the Québec Government has been announced at the time the budget was tabled on March 21, 2019. For more information, consult the note relating to Form T1229. Even though the Québec tax regulation modifications will only be adopted once the corresponding federal measures are given assent, they will be applicable on the same dates as the federal measures. We received authorization by Revenu Québec to integrate these modifications in our calculations for the 2018 taxation year. Revenu Québec will be able to process the returns in which these additional deductions are claimed.

Technical Information

Technical Changes

We are proud to present the many technical changes to the enhanced version of Personal Taxprep. We are convinced that you will be pleased with these changes.

Enhancements to the user interface

The following enhancements have been made to the interface to refine the display of the many Personal Taxprep views:

  • A single toolbar: The Standard and Advanced toolbars have been merged into a single toolbar that is always displayed which content adjusts according to the view selected. This new toolbar also provides new buttons with a more intuitive design.
  • Access to the views: The shortcut bar that was available on the left side of the main screen of Personal Taxprep was replaced by the button. When you click this button, a menu displays to allows you to select the desired view.
  • Zoom: The tool allowing you to resize the form is now available in the right corner of the status bar.

    To know how to use this tool, consult the page Customize Form Display.
    The selected zoom factor will apply only to the forms. The Xpress tool and the diagnostics pane possess options allowing you to apply a zoom factor different from the one set for the display of forms.
  • AutoText: To facilitate the entry of data, which is sometimes repetitive, a list of AutoText suggestions in alphabetical order now displays from an alphanumeric field for which such list exists. Start entering an alphanumerical value and, if a list displays, click the value that you want to insert in the cell.
  • TaxprepConnect status bar: The TaxprepConnect a status bar has been modified. The Download button allows you to download a taxpayer's data, while the icon allows you to display Form CONNECT, TaxprepConnect Download (Jump Code: CONNECT), to review the downloaded data. In addition, you can place the cursor of your mouse on the icon to display the date of the last download performed for the active client file. For more information on TaxprepConnect, consult the page How to Download Tax Data with TaxprepConnect .

Standardized presentation of information in the views

In addition to the Client Manager, Form Manager, EFILE Log view and EFILE Archives view, the following views are also presented in tables:

  • Print Formats view 
  • Preparer Profiles view 
  • Filters and Diagnostics view 
  • Letters and Labels view 
  • Rate Tables view 
  • Advanced Network view (available with the Advance Network version)

Therefore, the functionalities available in these views to display, order and filter the information are identical. The following enhancements have been made to certain of the functionalities:

  • the search is performed from the search box or by using the Ctrl+F shortcut. For more information on this topic, consult the page Search Through Views.
  • the grouping area located at the top of the view is no longer displayed at all times. To group the content of a view according to a column, click the Group button, and drag the column header to the grouping area displayed. To ungroup , click the Ungroup button.
  • the filters available on the column headers now provide more criteria to allow you to quickly find the information you are searching for. As a result, in the Values tab, you can enter the text you are searching for in the list to find the one that you want to use as a search criterion. A second tab is also available to allow you to use advanced filter functions. For more information, consult the page Filter Based on the Content of One Column.

As mentioned above, the Print Formats, Letters and Labels and Filters and Diagnostics views are now presented in tables. In addition to taking advantage of the functionalities listed above, this new way of presenting information provides you with a way to order templates per template types, i.e. predefined or customized. As a result, the customized templates are displayed first in the view as they are the most frequently used templates.

Letter Editor: more editing tools available

The following have been enhanced in the Letter Editor used to define the content of letter templates. It also allows you to format and layout the letter.

  • Tables: You can now add one or more tables in a letter template to display data on lines and in columns. For more information on tables, consult the page Add or delete a table.
  • Review comments: You can now add comments to a letter template to enter any information, suggestion or question to be communicated to your colleagues responsible for updating or reviewing the letter template. For more information on review comments, consult the page Add, edit or delete comments.
  • Formatting tools: For more information on the many tools provided in the Letter Editor consult the page About the Letter Editor.

Xpress and Diagnostics pane: easier-to-use tools

You can now float the Xpress tool panel or the diagnostics pane to move it. It can be moved to another screen to facilitate data entry in the main screen. To do so, in the toolbar, click the Xpress button or the Diagnostics button, then click Float and move the panel to the other screen. Consult the video for a demonstration of the floating pane.

Options to resize the text, the zoom in and the zoom out  have been added to the Xpress tool and the diagnostics pane. For more information on these options, consult the pages Customize the Xpress List Display and Customize Diagnostics Display.

In addition, as it is now possible to float the Xpress tool panel, the Browse toolbar has been removed from the Display/Toolbar menu.

Changes relating to diagnostics

As the information in the diagnostics pane is presented in a table, a grouping area located in the top portion of the pane, where you can group the content of the pane according to a column, is also available. To group content in the diagnostics pane according to a column (for example, the Type), click the Group  button, then drag the column header to the displayed grouping area.

Diagnostics are ordered by group and each group is presented in a separate table. The name of the group as well as the number of diagnostics are indicated on tabs:

  • The Take Action tab displays the diagnostics issued by Personal Taxprep on which no action has yet been taken.
  • The Reviewed tab displays the diagnostics that were reviewed during a first or second revision.
  • The Ignored tab displays the diagnostics that were ignored during a first or second revision.

Precisions relating to diagnostics

  • An annotated diagnostic with the or indicators which is resolved remains in the Reviewed tab; however, the colour of the indicators displayed in the Annotation column is modified ( or ).
  • The diagnostic indicator for a tax cell is no longer displayed when the diagnostics issued for that cell are annotated and no other diagnostic applies to this cell. Therefore, the diagnostic(s) display before the return is printed.

Help tools: easier to access

  • the templates, and
  • the data exported of Taxprep slips.

Notes:

  • The default folder suggested during templates conversion is the templates folder defined in Personal Taxprep 2017. For example: C:\Users\NomUtilisateurWindows\Documents\CCH\T1 Taxprep 2017\.

Enhancements to the Advanced Network view (available in the Advanced Network version)

Like the Client Manager, the Form Manager and the various templates views, the Advanced Network view is now presented in a table. You can take advantage of the different functionalities available in those views to customize the display according to your requirements and perform searches.

The Advanced Network view is split into two portions that allow you to view, add, delete and define properties for the users and groups:

  • The upper portion relates to user groups.
  • The lower portion relates to users: by selecting a group in the upper portion of the view, the users associated with this group are displayed in this location.

Portion relating to user groups

You can use the different commands available in the toolbar to add, copy or define properties for the groups. You can also access the different server features using the following buttons in the toolbar:

Click ...

To ...

Retrieve the previous version configuration. For more information, consult the page Retrieve the Network Configuration (Advanced Network version)

Define server properties

Update the server

The On-line and Off-line columns allow you to copy the profile rights of a group to the other group profile or another group profile using the Copy Profile command. The Off-line column indicates also whether or not the group has the rights required to work in off-line mode:
