New! TPF1C Explanations Regarding an Amended Income Tax Return

Starting with the 2018 taxation year, Revenu Québec allows preparers to transmit an amended TP1 return electronically.

As previously, preparers can use the “Prepare an automatic TP-1.R form” functionality to create and print Form TP-1.R - Request for an Adjustment to an Income Tax Return. Form TPF-1.C is not required if using this functionality.

Search for “adjustment” or “TPF1C” to find the TPF1C form.

An amended return using TPF1C is different from using TP-1.R: when using TPF1C the changes are made directly on the return. An explanation of the changes must be entered on TPF1C and the entire return is sent to Revenu Québec.

In comparison, only TP-1.R tells Revenu Québec the changes done on the return, without sending the entire return to the government.

An amended return can undergo electronic or paper filing. In both cases, TPF1C is necessary.

Enter the following amounts on the “Resource” worksheet, under Resource expense pools:

• Accelerated CDE renounced under a FTS agreement entered into after November 20, 2018;
• Other Accelerated CDE/COGPE; and
• CDE/COGPE claimed in 2017
