If you are using TurboTax CD/Download, please make sure that your software is fully updated. This FAQ has instructions on how to update TurboTax CD/Download: https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/community/navigating-turbotax/help/how-do-i-update-turbotax-if-...

 

Please review your NETFILE eligibility here: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/e-services/e-services-individuals/netfile-overview/...

 

Also, if you entered a NETFILE Access Code (NAC), please double check that it is correct and has all 8 characters. You can also try submitting your return without the NAC. The NAC is optional and not required to file your return.
