cannot file quebec tax return electonically because of 45(2) or 45(3)

[shi9208]

ufile won't let me file quebec tax return electronically, it says: The taxpayer is requesting an election (for example under section 284 or 286.1 [TP-274] or under subsection 45(2) or 45(3) [ITA]) within their income tax return. * it asked me to mail the tax return forms. 

I have a rental property that was changed to Principle residence last year. after I chose "change in use" under "captial gain", I got the form 45(3).

how to fix it? should I NOT choose "change in use"?

(2.) Changing all your principal residence to a rental or business property

*When you change your principal residence to an income producing property, such as a rental or business property, you can make an election not to be considered as having started to use your principal residence as a rental or business property. This means you do not have to report any capital gain when you change its use. If you make this election:

    you have to report the net rental or business income you earn

    you cannot claim capital cost allowance (CCA) on the property

*To make this election, attach a letter signed by you to your income tax and benefit return of the year in which the change of use occurs. Describe the property and state that you want subsection 45(2) of the Income Tax Act to apply.
