What was fixed in recent ProFile releases

by Intuit• Updated 6 months ago

The following issues were addressed in recent ProFile releases:

Amount of credit reduction on Line 431 of TP1 is incorrect

Issue

If your spouse is transferring an amount of credit on line 431 of your TP1 and is also transferring to their father or mother an amount as a child 18 or over enrolled in post-secondary studies, your amount on line 431 is being reduced by 15% of this amount transferred to their father or mother (line 20 of your spouse’s Schedule S).

This rate should be 14%.

Workaround

Under this scenario, deduct 14% of the amount transferred to their father or mother on line 20 of your spouse’s Schedule S from the amount transferred on your spouse’s TP1 line 430 and enter the result on line 431 of your TP1 return.

T3010 does not calculate

Issue

Workaround

Call ProFile Customer Success for assistance with a workaround for this issue.

Exemption calculates tax unexpectedly on UHT2900

Issue

UHT2900 calculates the Underused housing tax owing in Part 8 when an exemption is claimed on the form. When an exemption is selected for Part 4 line 405, Part 5 line 505, or Part 6 line 605, tax owing should be calculated as 0 (zero).

Workaround

If YES is selected for Part 4 line 405, Part 5 line 505, or Part 6 line 605, an exemption applies. Override Part 8 Line 8A to 0.

Some FX/Q files with T4 slips are experiencing slowness

Issue

As a result, data in the file is corrupted.

The Activate Quebec forms option is now set as No again.

The slowness issue should be resolved.

Workaround #2

Open the corrupted FX/Q T4 file.
Create a new blank FX/Q return at the same time.
Select Tile horizontally or Tile vertically (available in versions 2022.3.0 and later) from the Windows menu or select the shortcut to view both returns side-by-side.
Open the INFO form in the corrupted FX/Q T4 file.
Select Copy Form from the Edit menu.

Some CO-17 values are not transmitted to RQ during Internet filing

Issue

In the ideal state, values from CO-17 forms and an embedded PDF (of the used forms) are transmitted to Revenu Québec (RQ) when Internet filing.

However, values in CO-1029.8.36.DASum (Part 4 - 6.3 OR lines 60 - 121) are currently not transmitted to RQ during Internet filing. The embedded PDF of CO-1029.8.36DA and CO-1029.8.36.DASum are transmitted to RQ correctly as expected.

Workaround

If RQ inquires about CO-1029.8.36.DA Part 4 - 6.3, users can resolve the inquiry by mailing a printed copy of CO-1029.8.36DA and CO-1029.8.36.DASum to RQ.
