I need to amend the T619 transmitter date included in the T4 xml file to allow me to file through my CRA Rep a client login. How can I update this info

QuickBooks Online Canada allows users to generate T4 XML files for CRA electronic submission. However, there isn’t an option to manually update only the transmitter date within the XML file, rrisso.

To update the transmitter date, you’ll need to regenerate the XML file in QuickBooks, which ensures the updated transmitter information is included automatically.

To begin, verify that your T4 information is accurate. Review the company and employee details required to generate the correct T619 transmitter date. These links provide useful guidance:

• Update settings for T4, T4A, and T5018 electronic filing to the CRA
• Prepare and submit T4 slips and T4 Summary in QuickBooks Online

After confirming the transmitter details are correct, regenerating the XML file will automatically update the transmitter date. You can then resubmit the T4 XML file following your usual process.
