Is anyone else noticing some of the AFR data in regards to capital and non capital losses being different this year? I have one file that a 1983 non capital loss is being downloaded but it did not exist last year and is likely wrong. I have also had some issues with the odd capital loss showing up that did not exist last year.

Yes I had one. I was a bit skeptical as well. Unapplied capital loss from 1980. Applied against regular income with success though. 👍

I have seen 1 capital loss from prior to 1985 that was not there last year. To confirm, I checked the 2018 Notice of Assessment, which did show the loss. I used it against 2019 capital gains and it was fine.

Have put in a adjustment request for 2017, will see what happens…

I have also checked the notices of assessment but in my case these new amounts are not there.

Same here - **non-capital** losses from years ago are now showing up in the AFR data. Tax Cycle still flags them as needing attention. I don’t think it should be flagging them - there’s no “judgement” required here, is there? It’s a simple subtraction: current tax year minus the year the loss expired (which is the year the loss arose plus 7 or 10 or 20, depending on the date).

What really bugs me is that when you click on the link to **Transfer all values listed above** , Tax Cycle does nothing, because (of course) there is no row on the NonCapLoss worksheet corresponding to the year value in the AFR worksheet (in this case 1989).
