CRA Result Code: 35 - filing for a deceased person

[JimBAround]

Hi - I'm trying to file for my father's estate.  This isn't the Death filing, this is just his filing for 2024.  I get the CRA Result Code: 35 that won't let me netfile.  I've cleared cache, restarted, I'm using Chrome.  Perhaps if you're filing for a deceased person you can't use netfile?  CRA is uncontactable right now (All agents are busy, call back later).

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

You can't NETFILE a return for a deceased person. You need to print out and mail it, and the executor of the estate (or legal representative) needs to sign it.

Thank you!
