I was told that using the RC59 only gives you phone access - that you have to use the form from Represent a Client to get online access.  Is this still the case with efiling the RC59?
If you are referring to the T1 module then online access is not available for Trusts when using the RC59. And yes it would be best to use the T1013 for Online access for a Representative. And if you are referring to the T2 module then filing the RC59 gives the Representative online access.
Can Profile T2 import data from Sage 50 or Sage online?
As long as Sage 50 or Sage Online can export the GIFI file you can import into a T2 return in ProFile.
