Internet file slips in the FX module

by Intuit• Updated 1 week ago

This article explains how to internet file various slips in the FX module.

Note: Ensure that you print the transmission confirmation from the CRA page at the end of the process. ProFile doesn't keep a record or report of slips that have been transmitted.

Review this article for Quebec slips.



Setting up transmission credentials

Before you start, make sure your filing credentials are entered. A transmitter number is no longer needed, but you'll need a Rep ID, trust number, business number, or non-resident account number. See our article on entering filing credentials for FX or T3.
