New Security Questions for WAC and DAC Requests in T2 and TaxCycle Forms

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has added new security questions to the Request a T2 Web Access Code (WAC) service and the Request a Digital Access Code (DAC) service.

The latest TaxCycle release adds new authentication fields to the T2 Corporate Internet Filing worksheet (T2CIFWS) in TaxCycle T2 2025 and the Special Elections and Returns (SERs) worksheet in the T2 and Forms module.

For both WAC and DAC requests, you must now provide the issue date of the most recent Notice of Assessment (NOA) and at least one of the following amounts from the latest NOA or Notice of Reassessment (NOR):

• Part I Tax
• Total federal tax
• Net balance of tax

On the T2CIFWS, you can check the box to complete the fields for the three authentication questions with prior-year amounts from the 5 Year Comparative Summary (5YearComp), or check “No” to enter the amounts manually. 

New corporations filing a T2 return for the first time must call the Corporation Internet Filing Help Desk at 1-800-959-2803 to request their first WAC.
