Release Highlights

T1/TP1 2024 Ready for Paper Filing

This release enables the barcode on the T1 Condensed for T1 2024 returns.

With this release, we have removed the Preview watermark from most forms to allow you to mail any returns to the CRA or Revenu Québec that are ready and which you do not want to or cannot yet transmit through EFILE.

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, such as the T1 Schedule 3, 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. You should not attempt to file, by mail on paper or through EFILE, a return that uses any of these forms until they are finalized and CRA has certified TaxCycle for these forms. The affected forms show the Preview watermark and are included in the list below.

At the CRA’s request, we have disabled the ability to print a return that has capital gains or losses. The ability to print will be restored in a later release.

The following forms still show the Preview watermark due to ongoing work:
