I am filing a T3 for a family trust. Schedule 15 required for the first time. Trustee having difficulty getting responses from two people who have not provided their SIN. Taxcycle won’t transmit with that field empty. Is their a generic SIN or other workaround that enables the T3 return to be efiled, while also transparently acknowledging the SINs were not obtained?
On the 2023 T3 I entered 9 zero’s as the SIN numbers of beneficiaries who did not yet have SIN numbers. I told the trustee to make sure they applied for them during 2024, which they did. This year I “modified” those beneficiaries on the “Beneficial ownership information” worksheet to include the SIN numbers they had obtained in 2024.
Everything seemed to file ok in 2023 and 2024.
