Contact your CVITP regional coordinator for the CVITP activation key you need for the current tax year.
One (1) CVITP activation key provides the capability to prepare 999 returns for electronic filing (EFILE) or paper filing.
You can use UFile for Windows back to tax year 2003. Links to download the previous years are present on the CVITP Home page.
Each year is a separate program which requires an Activation key for that year. Contact UFile Support via the Support Contact Form to obtain the Activation keys you need.
Note that UFile for years 2005 to 2003 runs only on a computer set up with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 7.
Usually you enter your EFILE registration information
(in settings EFILE-NetFile setup) only once after activating UFile with
your CVITP activation key. UFile then remembers your information,
including your EFILE number and password.
Should you work in a public environment, like a library, the Clear all button (bottom left on the EFILE-NetFile setup window) enables you to clear all your EFILE data. The Clear Part A button enables you to clear your EFILE number and password only.
CVITP volunteers are not allowed to NETFILE their clients' returns. They must use EFILE.
CVITP volunteers should not use UFile CVITP to file their own personal tax returns.
They have the following options:
To add the Standard activation key, open your UFile program.
Click on settings at the top right, then click Tax return counter.
Click Add extra returns. Enter your activation key and click Activate key.
You must change your EFILE-NetFile setup (in settings ) in order to NETFILE your personal returns. Select "Taxpayer preparing his/her own tax return" as "In what capacity are you preparing tax return?", then click Save.
The program will close down and restart in NETFILE mode.
If you are currently using Windows 11, and you are experiencing problems with Auto-fill my return
Older versions of UFile relied on Internet Explorer to access Auto-fill my return. However, with the recent release of Windows 11, Internet Explorer is no longer included.
You can install the latest update of UFile with added support for the Microsoft Edge browser.
Download the latest update from https://www.ufile.ca/products/cvitp by clicking on the relevant tax year.
Select the downloaded file, click to install, and follow instructions.
