You can make changes to a filed tax return by filing an adjustment. The 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.
How you file your adjustment depends on how your original tax return was filed. Instructions on filing adjustments are provided here:
If you filed your original return using NETFILE:
- Sign in to your TurboTax Online account for the tax year you want to prepare an adjustment for.
- In Return Manager, select ReFILE beside the filed tax return you want to adjust.
If you printed and mailed your original return or are in a situation excluded from ReFILE:
- See the CRA’s How to change a return page to make an adjustment online in your CRA My Account or by mail.
If you want to add Caregiver Credit:
- Select Find from the menu and enter caregiver.
- Select Caregiver Tax Credit from the search results, then select Go.
- Select the applicable dependant, then select Enter Credit Info.
- Check the box for Canada Caregiver Amount (and any other boxes that may apply), then select Continue.
- Continue as prompted to complete your claim.
Thank you choosing TurboTax.
