Over half a million lower-income individuals will receive a SimpleFile invitation this summer
This July, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) expanded its SimpleFile services (phone, digital, and paper) to invite more than 500,000 eligible lower-income individuals to file their return and potentially gain access to important benefit and credit payments.
You may be invited to file your taxes over the phone
The Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA) SimpleFile by Phone (formerly File My Return) is a free, easy, automated phone service. It uses the information we already have on file, and the answers you provide, to auto-file and process your tax return.
Getting ready to file your taxes by paper? Here’s what you need to know!
Circle April 30, 2024, on your calendar! This is the deadline for most Canadians to file their income tax and benefit return for 2023. You are considered to have filed on time as long as the CRA receives your return, or it is postmarked, by April 30. By filing your income tax and benefit return on time, you will avoid interruptions to your benefit and credit payments.
If you owe any money to the CRA, your payment is also due by April 30, 2024. By filing and making your payment on time, you will avoid a late-filing penalty and interest charges.
