T1 Dependant form

Bug Reports

The Dependants form seem to behave differently lately. Whenever I open an existing T1 or (carry-forward), and open the Dependants form, it shows no dependants:

However, the dependants ARE THERE - I just have to hit the back button for them to show up. In previous TaxCycle releases, the Dependants form opened to the first dependant. So, this new behaviour has caused much confusion - thinking that I had missed adding dependants in prior years, and thus adding them all again - and even having to ask the client for all the details again. Then discovering the tax return or other reports showing double the amount of credits/benefits than they should, so I have to go back and delete the duplicate dependants.

Was there a reason to change the previous behaviour of this page? Can we go back to that? Or at least show the number of existing dependants at the top, like it does when you are viewing one of the existing dependants (“1 of 3” etc).

I am using version 15.1.60757.0 and don’t have any issue like this. Everything works fine.

Thanks @msbuttar

Maybe something strange on my main computer? I’ll test on a few other computers. I am running the latest version here, too.

Agreed, when I CF from 2024, when I search DEP, a new DEP shows first instead of an existing DEP; I believe that is different from previous years; the same is with search for motor vehicle for T2125, a new motor vehicle shows first instead of existing from previous year.

Thanks @anni

Proves I’m not the only one seeing this.

I noticed this yesterday as well I’m running the most recent version and it did that on a new T1 for a client. I didn’t think much of it since I had recently created the dependent so I knew he was there.
