  1. Hello sarracenia, You wish to designate unused RRSP contributions made during the first 60 days of the tax year as repayment for your Home Buyers' Plan (HBP), which is authorized by the CRA. You also contributed to your RRSP during the rest of the tax year. However, the program allows only the entry of the total balance of unused contributions as shown on line B of the taxpayer's Notice of Assessment. Moreover, federal Schedule 7 contains no line to indicate the unused contributions made in the first 60 days of the tax year that you wish to designate as a repayment under the HBP. There is, however, a satisfactory workaround. To do so, please enter your information as per the following steps: 1. In the "Left-side menu on the Interview tab", select "RRSP contributions, limits". 2. On the new page displayed on your right, in the "Your RRSP/PRPP deduction limit statement" section, enter the "RRSP deduction limit for 2016 (2015 assessment, line A)". 3. Also on the same page, for "Unused RRSP/PRPP contributions (2015 assessment, line B)", answer the first question. 4. If you answered "Yes", go to the line "Unused contributions from the first 60 days of 2016" and enter the amount that was unused. 5. If you have unused contribution from previous years, enter the amount on the line entitled "Unused contributions from prior years (excluding the first 60 days of 2016)", enter the amount. Warning: The sum of these two lines should equal the amount on line B of your last notice of assessment. 6. In the "Contributions to your own RRSP or PRPP/VRSP" section, go to the line "March to December 2016", enter the amount of your contribution, and if you contributed in the first 60 days of 2017, enter the amount on the next line. 7. If necessary, click "+ Add Another" located to the right and enter your RRSP contributions. 8. In the "RRSP or PRPP/VRSP deduction to use in 2016" section, go to the line "RRSP or PRPP/VRSP deduction to use (leave blank to use all your contributions", enter the amount of contribution that you wish to deduct this year, or leave blank to use all of your contributions. Click "Next" at the bottom of the page. 9. Return to the "Left-side menu on the Interview tab" and select "HBP, LLP and other plans and funds". 10. On the screen to the right, click the plus sign "+" icon to the right of the line "HBP Participation in a RRSP's home buyers' plan". 11. On the page entitled "Home Buyers' Plan (HBP)", on the line for "RRSP home buyers' plan repayable balance at start of 2016", enter the amount, and at the line "HBP amount that should be repaid in 2016 (on HBP statement from CRA)", enter the amount on the notice that you received. Then, enter your repayment amount on the line for "Amount of RRSP contributions designated as your 2016 HBP repayment". The program will carry over your HBP repayment amount to line 246 of federal Schedule 7.

  4. Unfortunately, UFile is currently only available for installation in a Windows environment. Some of the new Macs use an Intel chip which allows users to install a version of Windows and then run Windows-based software (NOTE: a program such as Boot Camp, VMware Player or Parallels is required). Please note, however, that UFile ONLINE, the online equivalent of UFile for Windows, supports Mac and Linux operating systems running the latest version of Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera and all browsers based on the latest Mozilla rendering engine (e.g., Firefox) as well as Safari for the 2008 tax year (for earlier tax years on a Mac, please use Internet Explorer for Mac). Note: UFile ONLINE has not been fully tested on all versions of Mac and Linux operating systems. We cannot guarantee that UFile will be compatible with all platforms and their respective browsers. However, many of our current users are also Mac and Linux users and successfully use our service to file their taxes online. You can carry forward the tax returns prepared last tax year in UFile for Windows to the current tax year.

In order to have the carry forward information available in the account, you must have used the UFile ONLINE last years to *"prepare and complete" the return(s) before mid-January AND you must be using the same account.UFile automatically carry's forward your information for you. UFile completes this process once a year for the previous year ONLY. To access this information, you must sign into the account under the current tax year using the same username and password used in the previous year. To *"prepare and complete" a return using UFile ONLINE requires entering in the data information in the file to complete the calculation to generate the return AND to have made any necessary payments on the account. This process NEEDS to be completed before mid-January of each year.

If you completed a tax return from the current year, the data from this account will be carried forward next year. We carry forward accounts in batch once a year in early January.

Go to the "Ownership by spouse" page and change the "Percentage share owned by your spouse" from 99.99999 to 99.9999. However, if the business is in fact owned 100% by the other spouse, it would be better to delete it from the first spouse and reenter it in the second spouse's file with the percentage of ownership at 100% and nothing entered for the an amount owned by the other spouse. By the way, after you make the changes, save the changes, close UFile, and then restart UFile. You will then be able to calculate the tax return.
