Hello All, I hope you are well, despite this problem. I'm using Windows 10. I am using a VPN. Even disconnecting it didn't help. So, further research led me to look into my DNS settings. Sorry, I can't seem to post enough pics here to simplify things. You can type "settings" in the Windows search bar. That will give you the option to open "Settings." Choose "Network and Internet." Left hand side choose "Ethernet." On the right hand side, you should see "Related Settings." Under that, you will have four options. Click "Change adapter options." Right click on "Ethernet" or "Ethernet 2" depending which you have. Click on "Properties" at the bottom. It should open an "Ethernet Properties" dialog box. Look down the list. Find "Internet Protocol Version 4." Click on it. The box should be checked. Below that, click the "Properties" tab. Under the "General" tab, you should have "Obtain an IP address automatically." It should be checked/chosen. Below that, you may have "Use the following DNS server addresses" checked. Leave that checked. Take note of the server address in case you want to reset the server address later. It may look like 10. 18. 15. 1 or something similar. Now, change the "Preferred DNS server:" to 8. 8. 8. 8. Check "Validate settings upon exit." Click "OK." I didn't have to reboot. I'm not sure if you may have to. I re-opened my UFile 2023 and went to the last tab to submit my return. It worked. For me, at least. The other way to do it i s search for "Control Panel" without the quotes in the Windows search bar. Click the icon. It will open up a dialog with choices. Click on"Network and Internet." Click on "Network and Sharing Center." To your left, choose "Change adapter settings." Then, just follow the above instructions. Hope this helps somebody. Sorry for the lack of photos. Best of luck, D

Yes, he is. He's married to my cousin. He's been doing them for years' along with my aunt's.

I never considered that. I'll take a look after Wednesday. So, you think I shouldn't leave the net income fields empty? I thought that might be easier if it can be done. Any idea why my father doesn't show up on the return? He shows up at the end with $0.00 balance/refund. I'm uncertain if I would receive anything extra as a caregiver for a second person. Thank you for all your help.

Hi, Yes, she lives with me. I do the groceries, banking, pharmacy. Her mobility is limited but I've chosen to not to claim her as disabled. I just want to claim the care giver benefit. I don't know 100 per cent if she uses all her deductions and credits. I believe she does. I'll wait till Wednesday. It's more complicated than I anticipated just for the care giver tax credit. I was hoping to add my father but he passed away in June 2021. When I enter the dates for his dependency, 01-01-2020 to 29-01-2022, his name doesn't appear in the return. Thanks for your help.

Thanks. I'm waiting for the "tax guy" to come on Wednesday. Would I need to enter an amount for "net income" in the software on line 275? I've entered an amount. It doesn't change the final result, but UFile warns that my mother has a balance due of $1,865.35. That's ridiculous as she lives off a pension and my father's survivor benefits. I'm thinking about just not entering anything as her return has already been sent in. Your opinion, please. Thanks again.

Hello, My mother has already filed her 2021 tax return. I can't add my mother as a dependent without errors. I need to insert her OAS among other received benefits or the system returns errors. Will this cause a second return to be filed on her part? I need to figure out a way to enter her information without causing problems for me and/or her. Should I simply add all her data? I have not entered all of it yet as her tax guy has her all tax slips. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
