How do i proceed with filing my taxes when i have recently completed a legal name change?

Once you've changed your name, you'll need to notify the Canada Revenue Agency(CRA) of your name change before you file your return.

Make sure you did complete a legal name change from CRA here update your CRA information: Change your name

 

You also need to change name on your TurboTax Online return.  Go to the left side and click on My info - Personal Information 

You can either remove your middle name and or edit any related information.
