    I hear different statements regarding how to report interest income received from banks for the deposits with them and also dividends received from mutual funds, if your corporation holds units with mutual funds. On Income Statement ( Financial Statement, Schedule 125 ( GIFI codes - 8096 ( Dividends from Canadian sources ), 8094 ( Interest from Canadian Sources ), 8090 ( investment revenue ), 8097 ( Dividend from foreign sources ). These correspond to the boxes on T3 and T5 slips issued to you by the banks or mutual fund companies. You can claim non-capital losses from prior years Box 42 on T3 slip ( Cost Base Adjustment ) need not have to be reported because that is return of capital. Box 21 on T3 slip ( Capital Gains ) is 50% of the amount on this box to include on T2 return. Am I correct?. But when the commercial softwares like Quick Tax, Future Tax are not putting the dividend income into Schedule 3 when calculating the tax, they are entering this amount onto Part I tax. These softwares are cCRA certified. We need to help each other esp. where incorporated individuals frequently unemployed or in losses to help each other.

    Thanks. One question I have is on computer equipment (and its CCA) entry on schedule 100. It is an asset. In equity, I only have retained earning which is same as net income. But including computer equipment as asset with no corresponding liability means my books would not balance unless I include this computer equipment asset in equity. Seems I am doing something wrong but not sure what.

As of May 15, 2021, you can no longer file this annual return with the Canada Revenue Agency. For updated information on filing an Ontario corporation annual return, go to Ontario Business Registry. Is there a diff. form now that we need to fill out in place of 546? Thanks in advance!

    Video was good for completing a hand written T2. Does anyone do this anymore with all the available T2 software available? Also you left out the part in which the owner pays himself? Reporting income and expenses is a given, but on you balance sheet it does not show any cash that the president/owner would have taken out and you did not show this also on the T2? So accordingly nobody takes a dividend?

    Here's a current problem with no explanation I can find. You must report "Net income/loss after taxes and extraordinaryitems". This is line 9999 on the current form. This requires that you calculate "current income taxes" ( line 9990 ). There is no line 9990 and I thought the ENTIRE POINT OF THIS was to calculate the income tax. So what do the pinheads want here? They're asking me to figure out the tax I owe so that I can figure out the tax I owe? What does this number matter anyway, I'm paying taxes on my net income after deductions. They don't need some weird estimated post-tax income for anything. So what exactly is this? Their annex in no way explains this.
