Unfortunately, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is not yet ready to receive the 2022 returns. Please see our TurboTax FAQ: When is NETFILE available?

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

If you are still not able to NETFILE, and you are using TurboTax CD/Download, please try uninstalling and reinstalling the software. It will not delete your saved returns. If you are using TurboTax Online, please clear your browser cache (or use a different browser) and try again. If you are still not able to resolve this issue, please contact our phone support team at 1-888-829-8608 for more help.

Does not matter the year or software being used I have been told. Now if CRA would knowledge this :(
