I need someone to tell me definitely a "rule" on this.
My partner and his ex have been exchanging returns for five years now. We file our returns electronically and I download the file, save the four pages as a pdf and he ships it off to her. He hasnt filed a mail in return in years. They did them via accountant electronically.
Last year she demanded a signed copy of his return. Their agreement says "exchange returns as filed..." His lawyer said dont black out the SIN. Thats all we've been told.
She sent him a jumbled copy of her return and he told her to resend it properly with all pages (she screws it up every year and this year one page was missing). Her response was in the vein of you need to show good faith here since I showed you good faith. No, you finally followed the agreement and sent the full proper file.
Do you have to send a signed copy or is the electronic copy provided by the tax software enough?
