File a T1-ADJ or TP1R for a Return Filed by Another Preparer

Updated: 2025-08-14

The original return must have been electronically transmitted to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) using T1 EFILE. If the original return was paper-filed, you cannot use ReFILE and must send the T1-ADJ to the CRA by mail.

Both the CRA and Revenu Québec require the submission of the complete adjusted return when transmitting an adjusted return, as they compare it with the original return to identify the differences resulting from the adjustment. Read the ReFILE and T1-ADJ and TP1 NetFile for Adjusted Returns help topics to learn more.
