JulieL Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 I require a Web Access Code to file my T2 return electronically. 1) Ufile under "Efile" tab 5 says "If you do not have a Federal Web Access Code you may automatically retrieve one by clicking the button GET WAC".... problem... the button isn't there??? 2) CRA indicates to obtain a Web Access Code certain commercial tax preparations software packages have this capability without having to call CRA. Does Ufile have this capability?? As indicated from #1 above, if it does where is is because it is not showing on my T2 online. Anybody else having this issue?

dci Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Thanks Antoine7. But I am having the question as JulieL, where is GET WAC button in UFILE T2? Ufile under "Efile" tab 5 says "If you do not have a Federal Web Access Code you may automatically retrieve one by clicking the button GET WAC".... BUT....Where is the GET WAC button? If UFILE T2 doesn't have that button, please correct the message in UFILE and tell us there is no such button in UFILE, then we will not spend time try to find it. Thanks.

Antoine7 Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Hi dci, In UFile T2, you could request a web access code in the EFile tab by clicking on the "Federal Efile" option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipD Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 It is a year later and I am having the same issue. There is no "Federal Efile" option - at least not with that exact name - anywhere in the Efile tab (Tab 5). Can anyone tell me more specifically where to find the Get WAC button? It is a Sunday and CRA offices are closed so I can't call them to get one. There is a CRA web page to get a WAC (https://apps.cra-arc.gc.ca/ebci/leb0/wacretrieve/prot/Firsttime.action) for the first time filer. But I need two pieces of information, both of which I am having trouble getting right. One is my "Account Number". I presume it is the Business Number with RC0001 appended at the end but that gives an error ("Error: 054 - Missing, invalid or incomplete information. Check your account number and try again."). The 9-digit business number alone also gives an error. The other is my Registration Date. I don't know where to find my Registration Date (can't find it in MyBusinessAccount) - anyone know? This is frustrating ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyLittleFACET Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 The T2 online package as of 2July 2019 is still incorrect in suggesting that you press the "Get WAC" button. It does not exist. After a bit of a run around I simply called CRA. UFIle, can you either please update the package to do as the text suggests, or correct the text to be consistent with what the package does not do? Thanks PS: subsequent news for other users....the secret is that the Mailing Address has to be completed to enable the "GetWAC" button. The mailing Address window is elsewhere in the package, and even tough the mailing address could be the same as the corporate address you still have to fill it out. redundant, but that is the way the program is working. And the subtlety of the "GetWAC" button not being visible until you do this is silent on the eFile page. A communication deficiency which hopefully they will correct.

KevinP Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Apparently, UFile doesn't provide its behind-seen-WAC-obtain-from-CRA for us. According to Canada Online Services, some income tax filing software can obtain the WAC (for the income tax filer) but it's not happening with UFile T2. Therefore, we have to go with the other option (to call CRA). Here is the capture from CRA Web site: "How to obtain a Web Access Code If you transmit your T2 return using a Web Access Code, you can apply for, and receive, this code within certain commercial tax preparation software packages without having to call the Canada Revenue Agency’s Corporation Internet Filing Helpdesk. Otherwise, contact the Corporation Internet Filing Helpdesk; please refer to the Helpdesk hours of service." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane L Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 Same issue with Ufile. They don't provide the service of getting for us the "Web Access Code" as advertised. It is very frustrating when a customer service department doesn't solve our problems and more when it comes from their platform. And they refer you to the slow process of getting a code through ARC. Bad Bad Bad customer service experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo123 Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 Hello Stephane L, Before you can have the button [GET WAC] (Web Access Code) appear in the E-FILE tab, please complete the section Mailing address of the corporation. >>Other addresses >>Mailing address of the corporation As of 2018, the web access code is generated automatically in the EFile tab via the UFile T2 software and not from the CRA. Note that the Federal Web Access Code (WAC) is 8 digits. To generate the WAC code: >>>In the EFile Tab you should see on the screen: >>>>>>>>>>>> >>First screen : ====================================== Filing status for: My_Corporation_Name -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A corporation's file can be submitted when its applicable status shows "Ready for filing………… ….. Please ensure you have completed and reviewed all of your entries prior to filing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My_Corporation_Name - - -> Federal [~ - >] Ready for filing < - - - CLICK HERE ====================================== >>>>>>>>>>>> >>Second screen : ====================================== Federal submission for: My_Corporation_Name Canadian corporations should file a federal corporate income tax return. If the federal corporate income tax return is not filed electronically, then it may be printed and mailed to the Canada Revenue Agency. To proceed with Corporation Internet Filing online transmission, ………………………. ………. Or, if filing on behalf of a client, my client has signed Form T183CORP and certified that the attached electronic return is correct, complete, and reports the client's income from all sources. Federal Web Access Code (WAC) If you do not have a Federal Web Access Code you may automatically retrieve one by clicking the button Get WAC [Get WAC] < - - - CLICK HERE Federal Web Access Code (WAC): [ ] < - - - CODE WILL APPEAR HERE ====================================== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSMC Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 The Get WAC button will appear only if you have entered the mailing address in the Interview Section. Even though your mailing address may be the same as your corporation address, you still have to complete the mailing address in order for the "Get WAC " button to appear. This is redundant. Ufile should have changed the program or at least be clear about this requirement in the Efile tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
