FIRST TIME FILLING TAX

[_iamkatherine_]

Situation:

I arrive Canada on November 2023 and last year i was trying to file for tax but it ended up saying error and now 2024 my friends told me to do the filing online which is here in this websit which i did.

I just finished creating accout here and filled the questions to set account for tax filing but what is the next procedure? How to setup a new cra account if i never filed taxes before? The cra website asks for a tax line amount for 15000 but it gives me error..

so did i do the right thing to file a tax online i mean i havent submit anything yet tho or should i upload the T4 so that the CRA would recognize or what.. im confused as first timer.. what is the first things and its procedure.. 

THANKS.

You can't sign up for CRA My Account if you have never filed a return before. You will be able to do so once you've filed your first return and received your Notice Of Assessment.

You can still use TurboTax Online to prepare your return, but most first-time filers can't use NETFILE to submit their returns online, they need to print and mail their returns to file.

This Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) webpage has a list of where you can mail your return: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/corporate/contact-information/where-mail-your-paper-t1-retur...

Please note: The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will not be processing any 2024 returns until February 24, 2025, so you won't be able to print out your return until that day.

This my first tax filing and I don't have a CRA account nor Clicseqr. So far I have not received any notice of assessment. How do I need to submit my tax forms ? When is the notice of assessment usually sent by CRA?

@Brinda The CRA 's goal is to send you a notice of assessment, as well as any refund, within two weeks, when you file online. eight weeks, when you file a paper. You can get the funds deposited in your account if you have a Direct deposit set up with CRA otherwise, a check will be mailed out.
