Hello Sabrina,
1). Close the UFile session by exiting the UFile page ie close the browser and login back in. The data should not be lost and all entries should be restored (except the last interview page). It may be due to a split second disconnect of the DBase to web server interface page and can be caused by network latency, internet disruptions or other internet issues.
2.) Also reported when a user is behind a PROXY or other Web service which changes the users IP address during the session in UFILE.
3.) Switch browsers. Eg. From Chrome to Firefox
4.) IF the issue persists please try to open your account from a different location ie different IP address: home or office or reboot the modem router.

Hello malejko,
Under the heading "Employment expenses ", you have a choice to make, you must choose between the "Temporary flat rate method" or "Employment expenses for working at home due to COVID-19 for an employee earning a salary".
You can't choose both because you won't be able to file your tax return by EFILE. You must make a choice between the two methods.
In addition, according to some test files we have conducted, the fixed rate method is the most advantageous. We suggest you do a simulation to check what is most beneficial for you.
To claim these expenses, please follow these steeps:
1 - On the "Left side menu of the Interview Tab", select "Interview setup".
2 - On the screen to your right, go to the "Employment and other benefit" group, check the box for "Employment expenses (including T777S)" and click on "Next" at the bottom of the page.
3 - Return to the "Left side menu of the Interview Tab" and select the "Employment expenses" section and on the screen to your right you should choose the option that suits you.
For the option "T777S ? Employment expenses for Working at Home due to COVID-19 ? Temporary flat rate method» year 2021 and 2022 the fixed rate is $2 per day worked up to a maximum of $500.
For the detailed method you must have received from your employer the federal form T2200 and if you are a Quebec resident the form TP-64.3. duly completed.

Hello V4D3R,
To report the sale of your principal residence, please follow the steps below:
1. On the "Left-side menu on the Interview tab", select the "CRA Questions" topic.
2. On the page that appears, go to the line "Did you sell a principal residence in 2022?". The sale of a principal residence must now be reported with any principal residence designation.
3. If you answer "Yes", a topic will be generated in the "Left-side menu on the Interview tab" with the heading "Capital gains (or losses) & ABIL".
4. On the page appearing to your right, click on the plus sign "+" icon to the right of the line "Personal use property (Including the principal residence)".
5. On the page that appears, enters the relevant information in the first fields. If you are a co-owner of the residence with your spouse, go to the line "Your percentage share of capital gain/loss recorded here" enter your percentage.
6.The following line will be generated "Do you wish to transfer the remainder to your spouse's tax return (if applicable)?".
7. If you answer "Yes" you do not need to answer the CRA's question "Did you sell a principal residence" in your spouse's file because the program will transfer the information into their file.
8. Then go to the "Principal residence" section and go to the line that starts as follow: "Designation of the property as a principal residence to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)." and answer, "Yes" if the property that was sold was your principal residence as defined by the CRA and enter the address of the principal residence.
9. Next, go to the "Designation" section and select the period (taxation years) during which that property was designated as your principal residence. In the fields that follow, enter the year of beginning and the year of the end as the principal residence.
10. However, if you have not permanently resided in your principal residence, click the plus sign "+ Add another" icon to create another occupancy period for your residence.
11 If you rented your residence during the unoccupied period, go to the line "Change in use of property and election under section 284 or 286.1", and by selecting "Yes" a field will be created to indicate the period (from what year to what year) during which the residence was leased.

Hello keb,
I do not see anything from the CRA that relates specifically to CMHC insurance. You should contact the CRA.
Cost of selling your old home includes the following:
- advertising
- notary or legal fees
- real estate commission
- mortgage penalty when the mortgage is paid off before maturity
Cost of buying the new home if you or your spouse or common-law partner sold your old home because of your move.
Note
The cost of buying your new home includes legal or notary fees you paid to buy your new home, as well as any taxes paid (other than GST/HST) for the transfer or registration of title to the new home.
