Hi, thank you for using Intuit TurboTax AnswerXchange

CRA requires commercial software to print a T2 barcode for paper filing a tax return. The T2 short is not available in TurboTax business incorporated for this reason.

For electronic filing only forms used in the tax return are submitted to the Canada Agency (CRA). To be specific CRA just needs the form number, line and amount entered.

Both paper and electronic filings are certified by the federal or provincial authority. Hope this helps
