The CD-ROMs will be shipped starting the week of June 7, 2020.

This version allows you to file 2019 tax returns and helps you plan and forecast your clients’ needs for the next tax year (with the Planner mode). The 2020 federal and provincial government tax rates which were known at the time of this release have been incorporated.

Here is a brief summary of the main changes:

  • Scenarios form – Planning tool that allows you to evaluate the current and future tax situation of your clients

    The Scenarios form has been enhanced to increase your productivity when you plan the tax situations of your clients for this year or the next.

    From the Scenarios form, you can now create different scenarios by either entering data in the current return’s forms or by directly entering data in the Scenarios form without impacting data in the return.

    In addition, you can choose to use the current-year rates or the subsequent-year rates. The purpose of this enhancement is to provide you with more flexibility when preparing tax planning for your clients.

For more information with regards to these changes, consult the Release Notes.
