Submitted return but received message it won't be filed yet due to the cra reviewing capital gains

[wyhtmgm]

I couldn't find anything on the CRA website either, but here's a quote from bnnbloomberg that does seem to put the blame on CRA.  Google also shows that users of other tax software have the same complaint.

[quote begins here.]

The Canada Revenue Agency previously warned the system updates required to process capital gains “may not be completed” by the time online filing opened on Feb. 24, but there have been no updates since.

Drouin [from CRA] told CTV News the CRA is currently targeting mid-March, but that it could take longer.

“We’re pretty confident it will be fixed within a week or two,” he said. “But to be safe, I tell people to wait until the end of March. Don’t rush.”

For taxpayers impacted by the delay, the CRA has promised relief from late-filing penalties and interest until June 2 for individual filers and May 1 for trust filers.

[ I'd play it safe and not trust the promise of June 2 until I see it on the CRA website]

The government takes enough of our money which is the annoying part. Now they are keeping it further for those of us that are owed returns. To wait until June is completely a joke.

@Justy989 Schedule 3 is still locked by CRA and not finalized by CRA yet. Please refer to this link Why does TurboTax say my forms are locked or haven't been finalized? 

We do not have any ETA on this yet but as soon a these forms gets finalize we will be updating them in TurboTax for an accurate calculations.

We appreciate your patience.

"Your return is done, but filing for returns with capital gains or losses is temporarily delayed"

This is getting critical for me, I was counting on return to pay my mortgage, I know its my problem sorry but it is very important for me now. Is there any ETA for this please, or I should move to other software. I have only two weeks now.

CRA has released schedule3 and can now be downloaded from CRA at http://Canada.ca/content/dam/cra-arc/formspubs/pbg/5000-S3/5000-s3-24e.pdf 

I cannot submit my taxes using Turbo Tax.  Help!

They are released. https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/cra-arc/formspubs/pbg/5000-s3/5000-s3-24e.pdf

We are working to get all forms unlocked as soon as possible, but we don't have a date for when this will happen. We thank you for your patience. 

Please note, while the filing deadline is still April 30 for most people, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is granting interest and penalties relief until June 2, 2025 for taxpayers reporting capital gains.

Here's some links regarding the delay:

If you are using TurboTax Desktop and don’t need any of the locked forms, please try clearing the unneeded forms and then closing unused forms. You can find those options under Edit>Forms in the top menu.
