How to setup a new cra account if i never filed taxes before? The cra website asks for a tax line amount for 15000. I'm not sure how to proceed

After you get your Notice of Assessment from your first return, you'll be able to sign up for MY Account.

This CRA website tells you how to sign up for My Account: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/e-services/cra-login-services/cra-user-password-help-faqs/registration-process-access-cra-login-services.html#hlp1a

Thanks for the information! However in my case, this is my first time filing taxes and I didn’t file anything in the previous years. What can I do in this situation if I don’t have a notice of assessment?

You can't sign up for a CRA MyAccount until after you file a return for the first time and get the notice of assessment.

Oh okay got it! So what could be the next step for me? Should I file my taxes through any service like [another company] and then later wait for my NOA to make a CRA account? I again appreciate you giving response to this.

This is the forum for TurboTax, we have some pretty darn good tax software right here: https://turbotax.intuit.ca/tax/software/online

Oh sounds good! I was actually exploring all options that is why i mentioned another company. I’m actually new to filing taxes especially by myself. I have everything ready in turbo tax as well to be submitted. I just wanted to know if I submit my taxes through turbotax now and get a NOA in a few weeks…. I’d then be able to make my new CRA account right?

Yes, you should be able to.

Perfect! I really thank you for your assistance! Peace✌️

I have lost line15000

@michaelmoreton 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. 

Hello, I'm having the same issue. This is my first time doing this and can't create a personal CRA account. I've filled my first return and mailed it to them over a month ago and never heard back. How long does this process usually takes?

It can take up to 6 weeks to hear back from them. Contact the CRA at 1 (800) 959-8281 as they can give you an update on your return.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

Were you able to successfully file taxes for the first time through turbo tax without NOA 

What is your question? If this is the first time filing a Canada Revenu income tax return, click on the "FILE" section and continue and choose  Print and Mail Return.
