If you made an error when filing your tax return and already Netfiled it through TurboTax Online Software, you could make change your tax return by filing an adjustment return. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), requires that you wait until you’ve received your Notice of Assessment (NOA) before filing an adjustment. In many cases, the CRA will catch the mismatch and automatically adjust your return for you. 

We would like to suggest you wait until you receive your NOA from the CRA to start your adjustment return then you can change your current marital status from "Single" to "Widowed".  Please follow these instructions if you are using Netfile to make an adjustment return (ReFile): 

  1. Sign in to your online TurboTax account for the tax year you want to prepare an adjustment for.
  2. In Return Manager, select the ReFILE button beside the filed tax return you want to adjust.

For more information, this link from our website will guide you about How to make an adjustment return (ReFile).
