Ready for Auto-fill my Return (AFR)

This version enables Auto-fill my return (AFR) for 2024 T1 returns starting Monday, February 10, 2025.

To learn about using Auto-fill my return (AFR) in TaxCycle, we encourage you to review the Auto-fill my return (AFR) help topic and register for our Auto-fill my return (AFR) webinar on February 20, 2025.

T1/TP1 Preview Forms and Calculations for 2024

This release updates the T1 federal and provincial schedules, as well as many other forms, to the latest versions available from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). It also updates the TP1 jacket and all schedules to the latest versions available from Revenu Québec.

All forms, other than authorization forms, remain in a preview state and include a Preview watermark. We will remove the watermark once we receive approval of the T1 Condensed and bar code from the CRA, as well as a number of final forms. 

Due to the Department of Finance’s recent announcement as well as Revenu Québec’s announcement regarding the deferral of the increased capital gains inclusion rate, several forms are likely to change. We are waiting for instructions from both the CRA and Revenu Québec about the extent of the changes and the form revisions that will be required. This will delay the removal of the Preview watermark from any affected forms, and you should not attempt to file a return that uses any of these forms until they are finalized.

Update to this release to try the latest forms and calculation changes to T1 and TP1. You can begin data entry, but you must wait for CRA and Revenu Québec certification before filing.

New Forms

We have added the following new forms to the T1 2024 module:

  • T1294 Manitoba Green Energy Equipment Tax Credit
  • T2048 Capital Gains Deduction for Qualifying Business Transfers

Electronic Submission of T1 AuthRep

Electronic submission of authorization requests (AuthRep) from TaxCycle T1 for 2024 will require you to update to this release in order to transmit authorization requests starting Monday, February 10, 2025, when only transmissions from T1 2024 will be accepted. You will no longer be able to transmit requests from T1 2023. This also applies to business authorization requests (AuthRepBus).

T2 Capital Gains Schedules Reverted

Following the Department of Finance’s announcement and Revenu Québec’s announcement to defer the capital gains inclusion rate increase of two-thirds to January 1, 2026, we have reverted the following schedules and their calculations in TaxCycle T2 to their previous versions to now use the capital gains inclusion rate of one half only:

  • T2 Schedule 6
  • AT1 Schedule 18
  • CO-17S.232 (QC6)
  • CDA worksheets
