You may notice watermarks on your tax return PDF from Wealthsimple Tax. Here's what they mean:

• DUPLICATE watermark:
  • Applied to all NETFILE-submitted returns
  • Indicates a valid copy of your submitted return
  • Prevents accidental mailing of a duplicate return
  • Does not impact your return as filed

• AMENDED watermark:
  • Appears if changes were made after initial submission
  • May occur due to:
    • Changes to your return after submission
    • Changes to a linked partner's return
    • Submitting your spouse's return after yours
  • Does not impact your return as filed

If you see an "AMENDED" watermark:

1. Go to the Submit section in your Wealthsimple Tax profile
2. Click the Show differences button
3. Review any changes since your initial submission

Important notes:

• Both watermarks are applied based on CRA requirements
• Watermarks do not affect the validity of your submitted return
• Watermarks cannot be removed

If changes are needed after submission:

• You can update your return using ReFILE
• Ensure you understand the differences before resubmitting

Remember:

• Save PDFs and keep copies of all versions of your tax return
• If you're unsure about changes, review your CRA My Account for the most up-to-date information
