Are you trying to file from outside of Canada?

I have to file by mail because I was 'not in Canada as of December 31, 2025'.  But I am physically trying to file from within Canada and its not working.  I too have been done my taxes for 3 weeks and it continues to show an error.

@drewB63 Just to be clear, you were trying to Netfile and getting the same error as before? Are you filing as a non-resident? Are you getting this error when you try to print the return?

No.  I cant Netfile because I lived in Canada till Oct, then moved to US, thus in answering the residency question, Was I a resident of Canada as of December 31, 2025, I must answer No.  This gets me the message..then I cant Netfile, I must print PDF and mail   When I go to Print PDF, I get the puppy message.  This is checked everyday, different Web browzers, clearing cache, no ad blockers, restarting laptop. 

 

This has been going on for a month..please advise.
