    The warning " the value of the field exceeds the maximum value" could be related to a number of things.  For example if  the T4 "EI insurable earnings " exceeds the maximum value.  In the Review Tab clicking on "Click here to review your data" should take you to the Data Entry screen.

    If you still can not locate the warning (or error) you can contact UFile Support so we may review the file confidentially.

  4. Hello Sui,

    1042-S form – Foreign Person’s U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding is issued to non-residents of the USA that have investments there. The issuer of this slip is usually a financial institution like a bank, based on the information they have on file provided by the individual, as a non-resident of the USA.

    Alternatively, if the individual does not inform the institution of their residency status, then they will be issued a 1099-INT/DIV.

    https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1042-s

     

    You must first determine residency, ie resident of Canada or USA. 

    >>To determine whether you will need to continue paying tax in Canada, the government will first check whether you have retained significant ties here

     

    If you are a Canadian resident, then you will report it as foreign interest and dividends, as well as taxes withheld on the “Foreign” slip in your Canadian tax return package.

    *Interview Set Up

    *Foreign income or foreign property (T1135) >>

    *Income from foreign dividends "+" OR Interest OR Other

    Example :

    Exchange rate to apply 1.3013

     Amount of foreign income received $1,000.00

    Amount of foreign tax paid $100.00

     

    >>You should contact the CRA to determine what exactly is the type of income.

     

    If USA resident

    Canadian non-residents are subject to Canadian sourced income only; your income has already been held at source by the financial institution. Which then means that you do not need to report the 1042-S on a Canadian tax return. These amounts should be applied to IRS reporting 1040 , U.S. Individual Income Tax Return or 1040-NR, U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return

  9. Hello Pete H,

    CCA recapture is calculated automatically by UFIle.   It will take into account the undepreciated capital cost (UCC) as carried forward by UFile.

    Line 9947 – Recaptured capital cost allowance – add to Rental Income
    proceeds (dispositions) > UCC
    A recapture of capital cost allowance (CCA) can occur when the proceeds from the sale of depreciable rental property are more than the total of both: the undepreciated capital cost (UCC) of the class at the start of the year. the capital cost of any additions during the year.

  11. Hello ArashTheGreat,

    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.
