The return you created for her shouldn’t be a
problem unless you NETFILEd it. But then she would get an error message saying
it was already filed.
As to why she can’t file, we would have to know
what message/error she sees when she tries to file. But some common reasons
are:
- If she is filing for the first time, the CRA won’t
have all her information on file and she will have to print and mail her
return.
- If she is a non-resident or her home address is
outside of Canada, she will have to print and mail her return.
- If she is using form T1229 – Statement of
Resource Expenses and Depletion Allowance, this form has not been finalized
yet, so can’t be NETFILEd. It should be ready by the end of the week.
- Double check that she (and her spouse, if she
has one) have not accidentally said “YES” to the Tax on Split Income (TOSI)
question. Use the Find tool (or the Forms lookup) to search for Tax on Split
Income, answer the question “NO” and click “Continue” to save. Then try to file
again, starting from the beginning of the Review section. To get there, select “Get Started” from under “Review”
in the left side menu.
