uFile result code 181 is flagged by uFile as "rejected", but it is really an accepted return

[JohnA]

This morning I filed two returns as part of a CVITP clinic. After the eFile step uFile said the return was rejected. But eFile transmission history shows it as accepted. And the rest of the uFile result screen matches that of an accepted return, not a rejected one.

The eFile helpdesk, told me both 180 and 181 are accepted returns. CRA needs to do something, he didn't say what, if it's a 181, but from the taxpayer's standpoint, and the tax preparer's standpoint, the return is accepted and no further action is required.

Clearly uFile should not be flagging 181 result codes as "rejected".

Hello JohnA,

This false message error 181 "rejected" should be corrected in the next release.  CVITP is aware of this issue.

Terrific! Thank you.  What does 181 mean anyway?

Hello,

We are working with the CRA on the interpretation of this CRA EFile code.

As of May 2024 we (CVITP) are still getting error code 181 as a rejected file.  I have been mailing them in when I get this - maybe I don't need to?

Hello Shawn Taylor,

CVITP CRA - Messages 180,181 from EFILE CRA / Error code 181

During the 2022 taxation year CRA introduced Efile Code 181. It includes Code 181 and Codes 181-01 to 181-07.
For the tax year 2022, EFILE Service has added new messages: 181, 181-01, 181-02, 181-03, 181-04, 181-05, 181-06, 181-07 to confirm that the tax return has been successfully received and processed by the CRA.

These new codes also impacted prior years. The CRA has been contacted about removing "rejected" from the message 181, for prior year returns.  Unfortunately, we can not correct this on our side (in UFile) and the CVITP administration is aware of the issue.
