Final Taxes

Why do you guys insist that someone's Final Taxes (taxes for the year of death) need to be printed and mailed to the person's tax center. (on TurboTax Standard download).

 

The Canadian government clearly allows it to be Netfiled.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) says that you may E-File the final return, but this cannot be done through TurboTax. You may complete the return with TurboTax and then mail it in to be filed.

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

Why can’t this be fixed in a software update?

@Csl3 The CRA allows for electronic filing of final returns through E-File. TurboTax uses NETFILE, which doesn't allow filing a tax return for an individual who died in the tax year or the current year (2022 or 2023). https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/e-services/e-services-individuals/netfile-overview/eligibility.html
