Automatic Tax Filing for simple tax situations
Attention: Important Tax Update!
We wanted to share a helpful tool from the CRA that could help some people get extra money back this year. Budget 2025 has introduced some big changes to make sure everyone gets the benefits they’re entitled to, like the Canada Child Benefit and the GST/HST credit.
Big News: Starting in the 2026 tax year, the CRA is rolling out automatic tax filing for people with simple tax situations. This means if you have a lower income and don't owe taxes, the CRA might handle the filing for you!
Need to file now? Use these free & easy tools:
SimpleFile: If you're eligible, you can file over the phone or digitally in minutes. Check your CRA "My Account" to see if you're invited!
Free Tax Clinics: If taxes feel overwhelming, there are volunteers who will do them for you for free.
Auto-fill My Return: If you use tax software, this pulls all your T4s and info directly from the CRA so you don't have to type it in.
Why it matters: Filing your taxes is the only way to keep receiving benefit payments. Don't leave money on the table!
