File the Quebec tax return (CO-17.SP)
Quebec’s own return for a tax-exempt non-profit: form CO-17.SP with statements, to Revenu Québec within six months after year end.
In the books, the Wizard walks this task beside you and ticks each step from the books as it lands.
Read the return the books answer
Quebec taxes its corporations itself, so the year carries two returns: the federal T2 and this one.
Form CO-17.SP is for a non-profit corporation exempt from income tax, and it does three things at once: it is the income tax return, the information return of a tax-exempt corporation, and the road for paying the annual registration fee.
The year’s financial statements ride with it, and the auditor’s report where there is one. The books answer its questions as they answer the T2’s.

Send the return to Revenu Québec
Filing happens with Revenu Québec, not in this app. The return, with the financial statements, is filed within six months after the end of the taxation year.
A corporation that was a registered charity throughout its year files a different form: TP-985.22-V, the information return for registered charities and other donees, on the same six-month clock. Keep the confirmation Revenu Québec gives — the next step records it.

Record the filing in the books
Record the filing in the society’s governance records: a record of kind Filing, naming form CO-17.SP and the year it covers, with the day and the confirmation Revenu Québec gave, in the confirmation field. The Tax page shows it in the year’s filings, beside the T2’s record.
