Question

Will Profile be updating its software so as to carry the files backward to prior years rather than just carry forward?

I have to open in 2017. It would be great to just change the year to start a prior year file. Your competitors products can do it.

I have used other products as well and don't know of any that carry back. That being said when you are starting a new file for a prior year just click on the down arrow beside the 'file new'  and then choose the year that you want. The prior year will be listed or you can choose 'older T1 modules'. Then you can carry it forward if you wish. Hope this helps.

I think the problem is that we can only e-file the T1013 from the 2017 T1 program and then we have to start at the oldest tax year and enter all the information again.  I usually fill in the bare minimum in the new 2017 return to get the T1013 printed, signed and then e-filed.  Then I start at the year that I need to.

Hi, thank you for using Intuit ProFile Community

Since CRA requires that the authorization be sent from the current year module, previous year efile menu items are greyed out for authorization. CRA may ask for the signed authorization form, but not the actual ProFile tax file the authorization was sent from. The authorization can be printed and sent to CRA without saving the return.
