XML error

Hi

 

I’m getting a xml error when I try to netfile my return.  The message is as follows:

 

Stephen: The 'DonorConsentIndicator' element is invalid - The value '0' is invalid according to its datatype 'Token' - The Enumeration constraint failed.

A kind person answered in another thread....

Go back to the beginning where you see the steps "My Returns" then click "My Info" then you need to start from the beginning in that area. Click marital status and do all steps you will find the donor question at one point need to answer then you can file.

Issues happens when you import the info from the previous year, it skips some mandatory questions that needed selected answers.

Actually, mine is slightly different, I'm realizing:  "The 'DonorConsentIndicator' element is invalid - The value '0' is invalid according to its datatype 'Token' - The Enumeration constraint failed."

I am assuming that you took some benefits from the government. When it auto fills in the info from the CRA in the T4 form, for the "payer name" it rights "The Government of Canada Le Gov....etc" in french. The French will have a red line underneath as the system does not accept the french version. delete the french writing and only keep the English. then save and resubmit, it should work fine 🙂

WHY AM I GETTING THIS XML ERROR

Thank you, that's what I needed to do! the specific question that was unanswered was:

 

"Do you authorize the CRA to share your name and email address with the Government of Ontario to contact you about organ and tissue donation, and to maintain the Organ and Tissue Donor Registry?

You are not consenting to organ or tissue donation. This authorization is only valid in the tax year you file this return."
 
Once I answered that, it let me proceed with NETFILE.

This issue will be fixed shortly- for now you can  go to "My Info" click on (Name) Canadian Citizenship and make sure that you answer the questions " Do you authorize the CRA to share your name and email address with the Government of Nunavut to contact you about organ and tissue donation, and to maintain the organ and tissue Donor Registry?

This happened to those who transferred from last year.

NETFILE Additional Information:
Jiang, if you want to use CRA's NETFILE service, you are required to answer the following CRA questions and provide the information in the applicable fields. Leave the fields blank if they do not apply to your tax situation.
 
 
 
Income:   ( I got this message but didn't show me how to enter that income, all my income were entered, what else do they need for me to netfile?, please advise.Thanks)
