Trying to file my first T3 of the year. Carried forward 2023 return, answered questions, filled in income & expenses, then tried to efile. Here’s the message I get:
The Canada Revenue Agency’s records indicate that you have not received the necessary approval to submit T3 return records. Please call your EFILE Helpdesk. EFILE Helpdesk
I’m doing the same things as in prior years. The return has no slips this year, only a dividend received and bank charges to reduce income to nil. Anyone have any ideas? I’ll call the efile help desk when I think they’re awake, but with low expectations.
This is probably nothing, since you have been able to transmit T3 returns in the past, but worth taking a look at anyway.
When you renewed your EFILE certification a few months ago there is a question in there as to whether you electronically file T3 returns. Make make sure that box is checked off. I remember a few years back I was having a helluva timer trying to efile CDA elections for T2 returns. It turned out I had to go to the CRA website, log into EFILE account maintenance, and check off the box for transmitting special elections.
I suppose it’s worth a shot while you are waiting for help desk.
Yup. I’m pretty sure I’m screwed. Tried submitting a T1013, similar error. Apparently, my ef1ler number is not set up to transmit authorization or cancellation requests. Accessed my account maintenance section, and, just as I suspected, I had everything checked off the same as in prior years. I even unchecked and checked boxes to see if that made a difference. Nope. I did submit a couple of sets of T5’s, but through RAC, not TaxCycle.
T1013 doesn’t work anymore. Even if you get a signed AuthRep, and submit through TaxCycle, you won’t get access until the trustee logs in to the Trust account online (via THEIR RAC login) and approves you. So, basically the same as for a corporation.
I’m trying to get access for an individual, not a trust. I completed the form in TaxCycle and the transmission was rejected. I haven’t tried going in to RAC and submitting an authorization. I’ll try a simple set of T4’s through RAC that I submitted by web forms last year. I always save the xml file for the following year. Accessed my renewal information last night, and all the boxes are checked. I never change anything there. What a fun way to spend the last 3 days before the deadline.
Two separate problems. T3 transmission failed. Then Auth Rep rejected for T1. I might need to change careers. I wonder if there’s a market for an old fart who can take a Harley 45 apart and rebuild it.
