Illustrative figures, printed from the shipped file. Showing Federal to Québec — reconciliation of net income

01

What is inside, tab by tab

Trial balance through book-to-tax, capital cost allowance and loss continuity — adapted from a working T2 file rather than drawn on a blank sheet.

01

Cover

T2 — scope, version and exclusions

Scope, exclusions, the provisions implemented and the changelog — read before a figure is entered, and the one place the workbook states what it does not cover.

02

Sch 1

Schedule 1 — book-to-tax reconciliation

Trial balance through book-to-tax, capital cost allowance and loss continuity — adapted from a working T2 file rather than drawn on a blank sheet.

03

CO-17 recon

Federal to Québec — reconciliation of net income

CO-17 sits on its own tab, with a reconciliation showing every federal-to-Québec difference and why it arises.

04

Checks

Control checks — T2

Each diagnostic and what it tests, reading OK or CHECK, with a single master cell. A file that does not read OK is not a file that ships.

02

Federal and Québec, and the distance between them

CO-17 sits on its own tab, with a reconciliation showing every federal-to-Québec difference and why it arises.

One file, both filings

CO-17 sits on its own tab inside this workbook — not a second product to buy, and not a copy to keep in step by hand.

Differences carry a reason

The reconciliation tab shows the federal figure, the Québec figure and the reason for every difference between them. An unreconciled difference reads CHECK, not OK.

Counted, not assumed

Where the filing produces slips or registers on both sides, the control block agrees them one for one before the file reads OK.

03

The part that is contractual

Where a formula does not compute what the legislation it cites requires, TaxWorkBooks corrects it, issues the corrected file at no charge to every purchaser of that tax year, and refunds the purchase on request.

A limited accuracy warranty written into the Terms of Use. It covers the arithmetic against the provisions this workbook cites — not judgment calls, elections or filing positions, which remain the practitioner’s.
