I have a return ready to go for the 2020 Canadian tax year but I cannot choose the netfile radial button. I can only choose to print and mail? Is netfile not available?

Today, February 22 was the opening day of NETFILE. To help you, first, log out and back in again to see if NETFILE is now online as there was a server overload occurrence. Second, please verify our TurboTax FAQ included below: 

Why am I not eligible to file my tax return using NETFILE?

I have logged out and restarted the program many times and cannot choose the netfile option.  I cannot find a link on the CRA website to netfile.  Is that no longer an option?

When is Netfile going to be available?

It does not seem that the previous poster's questions have been answered.  CRA have opened Netfile as of Feb  22. 

I purchase Turbotax for the sole purpose of the convenience of the Netfile option, and am a bit annoyed when it doesn't work.   So, when are the updates going to be available to enable this functionality?

[janstel7]

Getting pretty frustrated. The Contact Us Form does provide a phone number that gives automated answers and links to the same old stuff with no answers. 

[janstel7]

You are right. My questions have NOT been answered. 

[janstel7]

I now have the answer! There are two forms left that CRA has not finalized, one is T657, Cap Gains.  If that form is listed in the Forms box, on the bottom of the return you are working on, beside the Tslip, receipt box you can’t E-file YET!  That form is listed in my return, but no numbers on it and you cannot eliminate it from the list. 

Patience, people!
