Would it be possible to get a little grace on overages of maximum annual CPP and EI premiums for a single T4...... like maybe a dollar?

You see...... the way the software works there is a $30.00 leaway for EI (on both the over and under side) and $50.00 for CPP before Profile "yellows" at you suggesting you may have mistakenly entered the wrong info.

However....... if you are over the annual maximum by a single cent on either CPP or EI (1989.01 for CPP or 720.01 for EI) the software hoots and hollers.

If a feller's earnings are 60000 and he only has 1940.00 deducted in CPP on a single T4 the software doesn't complain.... but if he has 1989.91 in premiums Profile bitches that the amount might be incorrect.

Would it be possible to increase the limits to maybe 1990.90 for CPP and 721.00 for EI before getting Profile error warnings?
I swear it was not this way prior to 2007...... but now I notice it also happening in earlier versions of Profile. Things that make you go hmmmmmmm.

I'll second that (at least), though why bother with the yellows at all? Us Profile users are all perfect accountants anyway (compared to many of the assorted T4 preparing fools anyway).

We easily have hundreds of false positives every year... not adding any value here. I'd suggest abolishing them entirely.

For EI, CPP, and QPP? Sure. I may have had one that was useful in all the years I've used Profile (since it became part of Intuit). But please throw in QPP pensionable earnings.

I have to override the QPP pensionable earnings on about 25% of my returns, because the client had taxable-for-Quebec medical insurance premiums paid by the employer. At least last year I didn't have to override it on both the T4 and RL1 entry pages. Then, I have to turn on that audit thing that shows overrides, issues, memos, etc. and "sign off" on each of those overrides. If I don't, it warns me every time I want to print. Not only do I print PDFs (with a PDF printer, not the one built into Profile), but I am having those duplex printing issues. I print part of the return and then the rest of the return because of those duplex printing issues.

Don't get me started on t-slip preparing fools. One elementary school insists on putting their QST number in the field of the RL24 (QC daycare expenses) that asks for their registration number - registration as a daycare and it's too long. I tried calling them and they just didn't understand. o_O
