No, I kept an eye on the forums here and waited until the fixes were applied before I even attempted to use the digital code and log in.
For the online version, it goes through all of the different things, and then comes to a page where it asks if any of the following pertain to you. One of the items is the 1198. Then a few steps later, the form pops up and I just entered exactly what my board gave me on the 1198. Everything lined up. Continued on through the steps. Got to the end and once ready to submit I did a preview and among all of the items, the 1198 was also in there.
Submitted to CRA and within the hour, got the NOA with the confirmation that the 1198 was indeed included and a special tax calculation was applied. The NOA did say we got an 1198. Instead it indicates that a lump sum was included for previous years and a special tax calculation has been applied.
For my wife, it said upon calculation, it was better to keep the lump sum in the 2024 year and nothing was added or reduced from her refund. For me, it said the calculation indicated to spread it out and as a result my refund increased.
