[Ontario Staycation Tax Credit]

Form ON479 doesn't seem to be in UFile so I did it on my desktop. Where do I enter the amounts I'm claiming on the Staycation tax credit page in UFile?

There's no obvious field. Certainly not "Reimbursement, allowance, or any other form of assistance received"?

 

NEVER MIND! The UFile help field should really give useful help and not repeat what's on the page.

Pretty sure that doesn't load the form, just the fields you copy into from the form.

UFile doesn't work like that.  You provide the required information in the various fields and it will be transferred to the form which will be visible in the Tax Return tab.

The Ufile setup made available on the website is intended for Windows 64-bit operating systems.

To install the program on an older computer (i. e. 32-bit operating system), without the need to use an extractor or edit any files, you can download the zipped installation file from the the links below.  After clicking on the downloaded ufile2022.zip folder simply click on the setup.exe application file to seamlessly install the program.

Cheers to Geo123 for the link to the French version.👍🏻

I tried the link under FireFox and it still says the zip isn't valid.  So something in my FireFox settings must be messing with the file download.

I tried using the zip file that Michael provided the link for.  When I try to open the zip I get a message that it is not valid.  When I try to Extract from the zip file, I get a message that the zip is empty.  Tried a similar download from the UFile site and got the same results. 

I had originally tried the ufile2021.exe file from the link in the email and as the install starts, I get a message that 7zip says the file is corrupted.  Windows 10 Home.

Any suggestions?

The file was probably corrupted by your security system i.e. not allowed to fully download and/or aborted because I just downloaded  it again and after clicking on it I got the files shown in the attached capture.

The fact that no one from Ufile chimed in on this boggles the mind.  I'm ready to bet that there are myriads of computers in use that did not meet the Windows 11 requirements.  Obviously the Ufile setup made available on the website is intended for Windows 11 64-bit operating systems.

For those on Windows 10 that run into problems with the installation try downloading the zip file from here.   Uncompress the zipped file and click on the UFile 2021.msi file to initiate the installation.  I had no problem installing and opening the program.
