T3 - Beneficiaries / Settlor etc....not updating from prior? Intentional?

Late-provided Trust return info just received for a T3 previously filed with all Beneficiaries/Settlor blah blah in the prior year. Was it intentional that this doesn’t carry forward this year? (Why?)

Seems like an enormous amount of repetetive entry here.

Check the BeneficialOnFile form…this would carryforward previously reported entities on S15. Only part A of S15 would need to be filled out for the current year if no previously reported entities had information altered or no new beneficial owners were added. If it didn’t carryforward to BeneficialOnFile form, please send in source tax file to our support team.

Sorry to bring this up, but when you E FILE the new return (the carry forward one) whiteout the S15 completed and only the PART A saying NO to both (first time and no changes)

does it get e filed to the CRA. will CRA fine the client for not completing a S15?

When you complete Part A with the dual “No” responses on S15, that is sent to the CRA as part of the T3RET .json file sent via Efile.
