I have an error on my taxes that my wife's SIN starts with a 0 which is only allowed with newcomers. My wife is a newcomer and doesn't have a SIN. I entered the SIN as 000 000 000 as suggested in other posts, but it doesn't seem to be working. Do I have to mail both of our income taxes even though I have used Netfile for myself in the past?
Non-residents can't file their returns using NETFILE. Your wife will have to print out her return and either mail or fax it. Please make sure to put in the correct SIN before printing.
I am trying to file both of them, but my return specifically. I can mail my wife's in but why can't I Netfile my return? This is the error I get: Social Insurance Numbers (SIN) beginning with zero are invalid. Only Newcomers to Canada with a SIN starting with zero are eligible to use NETFILE.
My wife is a newcomer, but I can't file my return because of this.
Well this was useless, I have a feeling like you never even read my question or previous responses. My wife doesn’t have a SIN, at Turbo Tax suggestions on other posts, I put 000 000 000. Yet, I can’t file my taxes now on Netfiles… so, what number do you suggest, since now you tell me not to put a 0. Why did I even try this discussion . 🤦🏼
