CRA is not accepting my tax return for the following reasons. I wrote the reason why I resent these problems after each number. I would like you to review and advise me
1. Your return has a date of entry indicating that you were an immigrant to Canada, or a date of departure indicating that you were an emigrant. To accurately calculate your world income, the Canada Revenue Agency needs to know your Canadian sourced and your foreign-sourced income earned when you were not a resident of Canada. If these net incomes are zero, indicate this on your return as instructed by your software.
---------> I arrived in Canada on February 19th, 2024. I had zero income when I wasn't residing in Canada so I've put 0 on the foreign income blank. Still it says it's an error.
2. You have reported an amount for Canadian sourced and/or foreign sourced income earned when you were not a resident of Canada. To indicate you were an immigrant to Canada, or an emigrant, you must enter a date of entry or a date of departure in your software. Otherwise, remove these amounts of income from your return.
---------> I entered the date of entry which is February 19th, 2024 in my software. Should I remove the incomes and just indicate EI premiums and CPP contributions?
3. The year in the immigration or emigration date on your return does not equal to the current tax year. You can only report this date on your return if you immigrated or emigrated in the current tax year. Your tax return has not been accepted by the Canada Revenue Agency. It contains errors that must be corrected. Please review the following error(s), make the necessary corrections, and try resubmitting your return. For forms or additional information, visit the Canada Revenue Agency website and the Corrections page on the NETFILE website. For further assistance, please contact us.
---------> I came to Canada in 2024. It should be fine to file my tax
Additionally, I am currently enrolled in a community college and paid more than $6000 in 2024. As far as I know, any student over the age of 16 who is enrolled in a post-secondary designated educational institution in Canada can claim tuition credits on their tax return. However, it says I am not eligible to claim for my tuition tax return as I am younger than 26years old and did not lived in Canada throughout the year.
Thanks for your assist and I am looking forward to your response.
Steps to fix the issue you are experiencing regarding Netfile Error due to Entry and Departure to Canada:
For Immigrant or Emigrant Residency Status:
Go to "Personal Information" and edit "Canadian Residency"
Select "Yes" for the "Did you move to or away from Canada in 2024?" question.
Enter the correct date of entry or departure.
For Other Residency Statuses:
Go to "Personal Information" and edit "Province of residence"
Select the correct residency status from this step.
After completing steps above continue through your return to complete your Netfile portion.
As for your tuition issue - the message that you are getting is for the Canada training credit (CTC), not your post secondary tuition. You must be at least 26 years old and less than 66 years old at the end of the year to be able to claim the CTC.
Also, don't put in a zero. Leave it blank.
