Where do I enter 2 as the surname change code?
My client's surname was misspelled on his T4, but I have correct spelling.
Where do I enter "2" to indicate my file has correct spelling of his surname?

Thanks for your help. I did not file the original T4 with the spelling mistake, but I am trying to E-file a tax return and it is being rejected because it does not match CRA records. CRA Result Code 184, E-file error code 43
The error message is: Your client's first and or last name does not agree with the information on the CRA's records. Please confirm that you have the correct SIN and name for this taxpayer. If the information you entered was correct and a name change is required, enter "2" as the surname change code.
On the Info screen in Profile, try answering "yes" to "Last name changed in 2022?" (right under where the Last name shows). See if that then lets you e-file. I suspect that answering Yes to that question will change some internal e-file binary code from 1 to 2, or from 0 to 2. I cannot locate the code myself - let me know if that works.
If CRA's records are different, it would not be from the T4. That does not establish the CRA name field. They may ask for support, such as the birth certificate when they get back to work and start reviewing tax returns.
