Amended T5s Not Accepted "Validating Parser"

MattHanCPA · ‎December 10, 2020

We amended some T5s and the CRA won't accept them because they weren't validated using a "validating parser'. Should the validating parser be already included in the software? If not, do I need to download additional software?

Here's the exact message:

This is what happens when you file amended T5s for prior to last year. You can't efile amended T5s prior to last year. They get kicked out and you have to paper file them, preferably mailed with a tracking number.

Hi, thank you for using Intuit ProFile Community

As mentioned in our what can be e-filed article, prior year slips cannot be filed from ProFile. The e-mail you received from CRA means that the XML schema in ProFile does not match the current required CRA schema. There are some details in the article hyperlink above

I apologize for the inconvenience but hope this helps
