You are finished with your taxes when you have filed your return. If you are eligible, you can use NETFILE to file your return online, and receive a confirmation code letting you know that your return when through. This TurboTax FAQ tells you how to file your return: In TurboTax Online, how do I submit my tax return to the CRA using NETFILE?
The Canada Revenue Agency's "Goal" is to send your refund within:
- 2 weeks, when you file online
- 8 weeks, when you file a paper return
These timelines are only valid for returns that are received on or before their due dates. If you use direct deposit, you could get your refund faster. Returns may take up to 16 weeks if you live outside Canada and file a non-resident personal income tax return.
Note: The CRA may take longer to process your return if it is selected for a more detailed review.
