The CRA will fill in the tax form for 1 million Canadians.
Starting March 2027, the Canada Revenue Agency will send 1 million people a tax return that is already filled in. You look it over, fix anything that is wrong, and send it. You stay in control. By 2029 this grows to 5.5 million people.
It is for people with a lower income and a simple tax year.
To be invited, you must do two things by October 31, 2026:
1. File your 2025 tax return.
2. Sign in to your CRA account and set your mail to email.
That is 9 days from today.
Three things to do now:
- Open your CRA account online. If you do not have one, register for one.
- Change your mail setting to electronic mail.
- If your 2025 return is not filed yet, file it before October 31.
Why this matters: many federal benefit payments only keep coming if you file a tax return every year. Filing on time protects that money.
