T1A form unavailable or not finalized in TurboTax???

I agree 100% that turbotax should be ready whenever CRA opens for NETFILE. I am getting a large refund and want to submit my taxes but keep getting a turbotax warning saying the forms I need aren't ready. I've been using turbotax for many, many years and this is incredibly disappointing! I don't want to wait until "end of March"!

T1A form unavailable or not finalized in TurboTax???

Thank You.  I did contact Customer Service this morning but after more than an hour on the line they were unable to connect me to a higher level of support to resolve my issue of not being able to Save my returns to PDF or Continue to NetFile. 

 

While waiting I was able to determine what may be blocking me.  While we have no Capital Gains we do use Quebec Form TP-766.3.4 to report Split Income from a pension.  TurboTax Standard is using version (2024-10) of this form, but Revenue Quebec provided an update to this form on (2024-12) which is publicly available on their website.  Note that this update was more than two months ago! 

 

Revenu Quebec TP-766.3.4 (2024-12)  

 

The only change is in Section 2.2 Taxable Capital Gains, Line 33 Inclusion Rate which now reads "50%" (2024-12) instead of "2/3" (2024-10)   In the Capital Gains FAQ it explains "The Ministère des Finances du Québec has decided to defer the increase until January 1, 2026. As a result, the inclusion rate for the 2024 taxation year is 50%."  

 

Three Points: 

  • The change in policy and form was made in December 2024, more than two months ago, so there is no excuse for TurboTax to have not updated this form in a timely manner.  
  • As I have no data in this section of form TP- 766.3.4 there is absolutely no effect on my Quebec taxes, so why is my return blocked.   
  • As far as I can determine we use none of the Federal forms that are said to be locked, so why can't we proceed with our CRA NetFile to obtain our refunds?  

Despite waiting online for more than an hour Customer Service was unable to connect me to a higher level of support to see if my TurboTax Standard 2024 can be unlocked.  They simply say they are working on the issue and I will have to wait until sometime in March to file my Canada and Quebec returns.   

 

This is very disappointing and completely unacceptable.

Buggiest version I have ever seen and I have been a user of TT and Quicktax going back to Windows95 or so.

 

My wife's return got the 'you cant netfile because cra hasnt finished cap gains rules'... well she doesn't have any cap gains or losses.   I do on mine, but nothing approaching the $250k inclusion rate change that Intuit is blaming on this delay.

 

They should have a proper product update page rather than making people search this community. Or make the help/chat function helpful.

Given that the change to the Capital Gains Inclusion Rate was announced on 31 January and is a simple change back to 50%, it is hard to understand why TurboTax is unable to implement the new forms in a timely manner.  

 

Announcement of Deferral in Implementation of Change to Capital Gains Inclusion Rate 31 January 2025 

 

It is inevitable that last minute changes and corrections will be made to forms prior to NetFile opening on 24 February 2024, so TurboTax needs to deal with this and stop blaming CRA.

As per the CRA:

The CRA is working diligently to update its systems to reflect the currently enacted capital gains inclusion rate of one-half. However, this update may not be completed when online filing becomes available on February 24, 2025. If you are impacted by this situation, you may avoid processing delays by waiting until the updates are completed in the coming weeks before filing your income tax and benefit return. The CRA will grant relief in respect of late-filing penalties and interest until June 2, 2025, for Individual filers...

Just let us file.  I am not impacted, yet the system wont let me proceed.   You should change the block message to "if you file now, and have a cap gain over $250,000, you might need to re-file later" if you cant figure out which filers are actually impacted.

 

there is nothing about capital gains/losses listed in CRA's restrictions or other restriction reasons for not being able to file right now.  It sounds like its your software, soTurboTax shouldn't be blaming them.
