EFILE is Open! Install the Latest TaxCycle Release to Start Filing.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) opened its EFILE systems this morning.

The latest release of TaxCycle is ready for transmitting T1 and TP1 returns to the CRA and Revenu Québec. Make sure you update to the latest version to begin filing. 

As of today, you can use TaxCycle T1/TP1 to access the following electronic services:

• T1 EFILE for 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 initial personal income tax and benefit returns.
• Auto-fill my return (AFR) for data from 2016 through 2021 (AFR for 2016 to 2020 only retrieves slip data).
• ReFILE for 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 amended T1 returns.
• Express NOA for notices of assessment from 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.
• T1135 foreign income verification statement for 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.
• Pre-authorized debit (PAD) requests for 2021 (PAD only supports paying a balance due on current year returns).
• Authorization requests (AuthRep) for 2021.
• Business authorization/cancellation requests (AuthRepBus) for 2020 and 2021.
• TP1 NetFile for 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 TP1 returns.
• File adjustments to TP1 2019, 2020 and 2021 returns through TP1 NetFile.
• Tax Data Download (TDD) for data from 2018 through 2021.

Returns containing farming and multiple jurisdiction forms are currently excluded from EFILE. As such, the following forms still show the Preview watermark:

• T2203, Provincial and Territorial Taxes for Multiple Jurisdictions
• T2042, Statement of Farming Activities
• T2043, Return of Fuel Charge Proceeds to Farmers Tax Credit
• AgriStability/AgriInvest forms (T1163/1164 and T1273/1274)

Farming-related forms remain in Preview mode as we complete testing and obtain approval for Form T2043. All other T1 forms are final.
