NETFILE Now Limits the Number of Returns You Can File to 20 Max.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has limited all NETFILE-certified tax preparation software products in Canada to a maximum of 20 returns filed per computer or online account. This means that whether you file on paper, or online, you have to adhere to the limit of 20 returns - regardless of your income level.
If you have over 20 returns to complete, we have a solution for you: ProFile Basic. ProFile Basic features unlimited returns and EFILE, an online filing solution of the CRA that is similar to NETFILE but made for professional tax preparers. ProFile Basic has replaced QuickTax Pro 50 and 100, so if you're looking for a multiple return solution, click here to learn more about ProFile Basic
Income tax preparation software companies must seek NETFILE certification from the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) for tax preparation software products that are to be used in conjunction with CRA’s NETFILE electronic tax filing service. NETFILE Certification of this product from the CRA may or may not have been obtained at this time. Please consult the CRA Web site at netfile.gc.ca beginning February 2010 to determine the status of this product’s application for certification.
