Turbotax incorporated 2017 T1135 form is not available for the corporation. Do I need to file in paper?

[ldh072011]

I am filing my corporation taxes and need to complete the T1135 form.  Is it available to submit using TurboTax Incorporated 2017.  I called CRA and they said TurboTax was certified for 2017 to submit T1135.  Is it only for personal tax filing?

Hello,

The T1135 is not available through the TurboTax Business Incorporated, a copy can be procured from the CRA's website for mail submission.

Is this true for the tax year 2019 as well?  The CRA site says a change was made in  2019 that T1135 for corporations could be EFILED?

If you are filing a corporate T2 form,  This tax form is filed separately and apart from your regular tax return. The form must be mailed in and cannot be sent via NETFILE. Click the following link for further information: https://turbotax.intuit.ca/tips/t2-corporation-income-tax-return-10729

However, if you are filing foreign income on your personal return on a T1 form, then click the following link for details: https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/community/investments-rentals/discussion/how-to-report-income-f...

Thanks for updating me.  I called CRA and they said there were many options for doing my corporation income tax that did have electronic submissions.  Unfortunately not TurboTax.  Since the code is available in the personal tax software and since CRA supports it, I remain surprised the TurboTax is not supporting this for T2 submission.  I have mailed my form but with the current mail situation have no faith whatsoever that it will arrive and be processed.   Hopefully this will get on Turbo Tax's enhancement list before next tax year.

Thank you! Your comment has been noted. I am glad you got it resolved.

This is extremely poorly handled by TurboTax, many people are sent on goose chase based on:

- information provided on CRA website saying it can be eFiled

- presence of misleading  "T1135 Confirmation number" in the Filling section right under question "Internet File this return ?" on of first form of TurboTax return aka "1. Info" 

At the very least clear instructions should have been provided to mail the form. T2 users time is expensive and seems that everyone wastes 1/2h to discover it is not even supported
