Frequently Asked Questions

Is all information on the TP1 return transmitted following an adjustment?

No, only new or updated information is transmitted in the amended return.

Can I make electronic adjustments for a return after the filing deadline has passed?

Yes, changes will be accepted by RQ after the filing deadline.

How many times can I electronically adjust a TP1 return?

If the limit is exceeded, users receive an automated response stating that the limit has been reached.

Is it possible to get a summary for changes to a return that was adjusted?

There is no summary feature available; it is recommended that preparers save a copy of the original return that was transmitted and also the amended return for future comparison.

Can I do an adjustment on a paper return?

Yes, an adjusted return can be sent on paper. Complete form TPF-1.C and assign an X to the IndAmend field in form TPF-1.W.
