This version contains the forms released by the tax authorities for the 2020 taxation year, including those that were under review in previous versions. All forms were approved for filing. Returns can be EFILED with this version. For information on the transmission system schedule, please refer to the Electronic Filing section of the Release Notes.

Here is a brief summary of the main changes:

  • Partially mask the Social Insurance Number

    A new feature has been added to the options and setting, which allows you to display only the last four digits of the social insurance number (SIN) when printing. When this option is selected, the SIN printed in the header (or in the footer for Revenu Québec forms) will be partially masked on every page.

    In addition to headers and footers, the SIN entered in Forms T183, T185, TP-1000 and the signature page for an authorization request will also be partially masked when printing.

    The option is accessible in the menu Tools/Options and Setting/Print/Security.

  • T183, Information Return for Electronic Filing of an Individual’s Income Tax Benefit Return

    If you are using the electronic signature feature in CCH iFirm Portal, the fields in the Electronic signature section of Form T183 will now be automatically completed when the signature is entered on the portal.

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