In the EFILE log view, when an eligible document is rejected, the transactions containing an error indicate the error code(s) giving the reasons for the rejection.view, when an eligible document is rejected, the transactions containing an error indicate the error code(s) giving the reasons for the rejection.

To correct an error identified by an error code, proceed as follows:

  1. In the EFILE Log, select the transmission containing an error.
  2. In the lower pane of the EFILE Log, review the error code.
  3. Display the return requiring correction.
  4. Make the necessary corrections requested by the tax authorities.
  5. Check that the document is eligible for EFILE.
    If the document is eligible, the EFILE status "Rejected" will have to be changed to "Eligible."
  6. Save the return, then close the client file.

To avoid another rejection, ensure that you have corrected all the errors indicated by the tax authorities before retransmitting the document.

Note: To review the error codes issued by the tax authorities or to correct an error, you can also consult the EFILE INFO form of each taxpayer whose document has been rejected.
Closed Data in documents different from data in CRA or RQ files

Some documents may be rejected because the data they contain differs from the data in the CRA or RQ files. The program cannot anticipate these situations.

Tip: To avoid having the T1013 form rejected for a new client, verify how the CRA has recorded the taxpayer’s name by looking at any personalized document received from the CRA such as the prior-year Notice of Assessment.

Examples of differences and suggested corrections

  • The return is rejected because the taxpayer's name is different from the one in the CRA files: Indicate in Form "Other Information" section on the Identification and Other Client Information (Jump Code: ID) that the name was changed in the year and retransmit the return.
  • The return is rejected because the date of birth in the CRA files is incorrect: Contact your local Tax Services Office before retransmitting the return.
