Please take note of the following important information regarding a known issue with CRA’s Auto-fill my return service.

Auto-fill my return CRA's service passing the wrong amount for variable "B" of the annual FHSA limit for 2023.

Why does UFile indicate an amount of $8,000 in the Interview section for “FHSA information and limit” for:

“Information use to calculate your annual FHSA limit for 2024”

“From your 2023 notice of assessment or reassessment, or Form T1028 for 2024”

“Variable "B" amount of your annual FHSA limit for 2023”

 

when using CRA's Auto-fill my return service for 2024?

This is a technical issue with the CRA affecting the Auto-fill my return service, which may impact the calculation of your tax return and Schedule 15 – FHSA Contributions, Transfers and Activities.

In some cases*, the Auto-fill my return service is passing an incorrect amount of $8,000 instead of $0 for “Variable "B" amount of your annual FHSA limit for 2023”.

*This issue only impacts individuals who opened a FHSA account in 2023.



Steps to correct the situation:

  • Delete the entry in the field for “Variable "B" amount of your annual FHSA limit for 2023”.
  • Check the 2023 notice of assessment in the CRA's My Account to verify variable "B" and all amounts related to your FHSA.
  • Enter the amount (if applicable) for “Variable "B" amount of your annual FHSA limit for 2023”.

As of March 14, 2025, the CRA has indicated that they plan to deploy a fix during the week of March 17.
