The Alberta EDI schedule displays information about the filer and the person to contact with regards to electronic filing of an Alberta tax return.
The answer to the question Third party provider? comes from the section 1 of the Profile - EFILE Default Information tab in the selected preparer profile.
If the transmitter is a “Third Party Service Provider,” ensure that Parts B and C were completed entirely and that the information entered is accurate. Part C relates to the person who will be filing, which might not be the preparer. To update the information in these parts for all returns, complete the Profile - EFILE Default Information tab in the selected preparer profile (to know how to change the properties of a preparer profile, consult the 'Set Preparer profile Properties' help topic). In the event where the transmitter is different for each return, do not complete section 3 of the profile; instead enter the transmitter’s information directly in Part C of the Alberta EDI Schedule for each return. The information entered will be retained when rolling forward the client file.
If the transmitter is not a “Third Party Service Provider,” only Part C should be completed. In the event where the transmitter is the same person as the one referred to in the “Certification” section of the Corporate Identification and Other Information form, answer “Yes” to the question If the transmitter is not a third party service provider, do you want to transfer the information from the “Certification” section of the Corporate Identification and Other Information form? in Part C. Otherwise, enter the required information. The information entered will be retained when rolling forward the client file.
In order for the Alberta Schedule EDI to be applicable, the answer to the question Do you want to electronically file this return with the Alberta Tax and Revenue Administration?, located in the “Alberta (Internet transmission, RSI)” section in Form RSI, Electronic Filing and Bar Codes Control Workchart (Jump Code: RSI-EFILE-BAR CODES), must be “Yes.”
Lines 071 and 073
These lines allow you to file an amended tax return from an original tax return or an already amended tax return. Each time the answer to the question on line 071, Is this an amended Alberta tax return?, is “Yes,” the lines Filing date of the amended tax return and 073, Description of changes will be created, and data on the previous lines will be retained in the history below. The last line 073 created will always be the one that will be electronically transmitted.
If you answer “Yes” to the question Is this an amended Alberta tax return? in the “Amended tax return” section of Form Identification (Jump Code: ID) this answer will be updated to line 071 of the AEDI form.
Use line 073 to provide details on changes made in an amended return. It must be completed when you answer “Yes” to the question on line 071. Note that you can enter a maximum of 100 characters on line 073.
