Just got off the phone (47 min wait) with CRA's e services help line, which you can't call directly. They informed me that after checking my account via my SIN, they can see no submissions on my behalf. They have received nothing from me so far. I have submitted my file 5 times since 2:30 this afternoon. They gave me the e file help desk number which is [phone number removed]. The line is open until 6:30 pm EST. Since none of my attempts are not showing on their end, I have not used any of my magic 5 attempts.
The rep said that sometimes the software provider (Intuit) gets backed up and is unable to forward a tax file to them.
