Transmit a corporate return without an EFILE number in ProFile

A preparer needs to transmit a corporate return (T2), but doesn't have an EFILE number.

Resolution

As an alternative to acquiring an EFILE number, preparers can acquire a Web Access Code (WAC) to transmit the return.

Note: To obtain a Web Access Code (WAC) 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.

With ProFile, you can apply and get this code online through a web service, without calling the CRA.

1. Select EFILE and then Transmit this return option.

ProFile checks your return for any warnings. If there aren't any, ProFile shows a green checkmark.

2. Select OK. The Corporate Internet Filing window will display.
3. In the Corporation Internet Filing window, choose a method for filing the return:
   • Apply for a WAC. This automatically makes requests to the CRA for the specific return based on the return's information, or:
   • Enter an existing WAC
4. Select Accept to submit the return.
