What's new?

Heads up! We've updated the way you send RL Slips for the FX module to Revenu Québec in ProFile (2018.2.0 and later).

The new process sends your info directly to Revenu Québec, so you don't have to attach an .xml file to the RL slip transmission anymore.

Troubleshoot RL slip issues

I received an error message when transmitting a slip

An unsuccessful transmission error message will detail the cause of the failure. Apply the suggested solution and attempt the filing again.

Why can't I find the .xml file generated by a slip transmission?

The new RL slip transmission process means that an .xml file is no longer generated and stored on the user's computer. The information is instead transmitted directly to Revenu Québec.

The RL slips that I am transmitting are greyed out

In this instance, all slip options are greyed out and unable to be set.

1. Navigate to the Info worksheet of the return.
2. Confirm the Are you internet filing slips option is set to Yes.
3. Review the MagMedia tab in the ProFile active auditor. If the tab has an error, it may mean that the information needed to send the message is missing or not complete.
4. Review the transmission setup information is complete and accurate and attempt the filing again.

Frequently asked questions

How do I acquire a Transmitter Number?

A transmitter number was assigned to you by the Groupe de promotion de l'EDI et d'acquisition de données électroniques. It is formatted as NP, followed by six numerical digits (for example, NP646574).

If you do not have a transmitter number, complete the Transmitter Registration Form (ED-430-V) and submit it online.

How do I acquire an RL-1 slip number?

Once you have registered as a transmitter, MRQ will deliver you a letter by mid-December confirming your transmitter number and your series of sequential numbers for each type of RL slip.

Are the RL summaries sent with the slips when they are electronically filed?

No, the electronic filing process sends only the slips to MRQ. Filers must submit the RL summary separately. The filing directions can be found on the applicable RL summary.

I have warnings on the RL summary for the required NEQ and Identification Number. Where do I enter this information?

These are issued by MRQ for a business. They must be entered on the Info tab in the section indicated below:
