Do I use my account number and WAC or my clients when filing slips?

Preparers have two options when filing slips: use your account number and Web Access Code (WAC) or use the client’s account number and WAC.

It isn't possible to mix account numbers and WAC. For example, you can't use your account number and the client’s WAC.

What if I need a WAC?

You can request a WAC in ProFile. In order to do this, you'll need your business's latest Notice of Assessment (NOA) or Reassessment (NOR). If you're filing for the first time, contact the CRA help desk for a WAC, as it's not available through ProFile.

Where do I enter an account number and WAC?

When transmitting a slip, a window automatically displays for the account number and WAC entry.

Enter the account number and WAC in their respective fields.

How do I set the account number and WAC as defaults?

1. Open ProFile.
2. Select Options from the EFILE dropdown menu.

The Electronic Filing Options window displays.

3. Select the Transmitter option under the T3/FX menu on the left-side of the window.
4. Enter the account number in the Account Number field.
5. Next, enter the WAC in the Web Access Code field.

6. Select OK.
