I am unable to Netfile my wife CRA return - is it because it's her 1st time filling ? - is it the middle name? - i double checked her SIN so that is not the issue

If you are filing your first ever income tax return to the CRA, then you cannot NETFILE.

For more information, please see the Canada Revenue Agency link: File your taxes online: NETFILE eligibility
