We are too yes, hopefully this is resolved soon!

continuing to get error while e-filing the return. It is error 149-r. If anyone has a solution or if there is any updates to fix this bug please let us know. 

Yes we are having the same issue. Hopefully resolved soon. 

We are investigating the issue with CRA

For all of these cases of first time filer,  you must answer NO to the question Last name changed in 2023?

If client does not have a first name on their SIN, what do we enter under first name? 

If client does not have a first name, you can  leave first name blank and put single name under last name.

Same error 149-r, looks like Profile issue.  Hope it get resolved soon as we have a fair number of new residents every year.

Hey Sunny, if its a first time filer,  you must answer YES  to the question An income tax return is being Filed with CRA for the first time under Filing menu and you must answer NO to the question Last name changed in 2023? in the personal information section

Hi Mario,

How to file Authorization for a client with no first name?

Thanks

Still waiting for clarifiacion.

Still having issues on some, no idea why. Some work now though.

Is this working for everyone now? We seem to be hit or miss half work, half don't

this is the latest communication that we received from CRA:

Safeguards to protect taxpayer information
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) takes the protection, privacy and security of Canadians’ information very seriously.
As the CRA continues to invest in security and enhance its technologies, processes and controls, additional identification validations have been put in place for the 2024 filing season (2023 tax year).
First-time filer validations
First-time filer validations have been enhanced for EFILE for the 2023 tax year. Taxpayer’s identity information such as first name (given name), if applicable, middle name (second name), if applicable, last name (family name) and date of birth must be an exact match to the identification information as issued under their social insurance number for the return to be accepted and for the taxpayer’s identification information to be updated on CRA records.
For first-time filer individuals with one name only, tax preparers may add the name in the last name (family name) field and leave the other name fields blank.
For any unsuccessful transmission, new response message 110-B will be returned. Please verify your client’s identity information – first name (given name), if applicable, middle name (second name), if applicable, last name (family name) and date of birth. Should the error persist following unsuccessful attempts, we recommend filing the 2023 Income Tax and Benefit Return in paper form.
