Error code RQ214

You’ll see the following error message in the H&R Block’s 2020 tax software if, while completing your return, you:

  • indicated you weren’t a resident of Canada throughout 2020
  • entered either the date you arrived in Canada or the date you left
  • reported income that you earned before or after you were a Canadian resident or
  • confirmed that you didn’t earn any income when you weren’t a Canadian resident

You can't file your Québec return online using NetFile Québec because of one of these reasons: • you weren’t a resident of Canada throughout 2020 • you entered the date you arrived in Canada or the date you left • you entered income you earned while you weren’t a Canadian resident • you confirmed you didn’t have any income while you weren’t a Canadian resident. Don't worry, you can still file it by mail. When you get to the FILE page, you can download and print all the forms you need to mail to the government. [error code: RQ214]
