I do not have a CRA account and will be filing my 2023 tax return in Canada. Can I register for a CRA account after the Notice of Assessment has been issued?

I would appreciate it if you could also tell me about the process of issuing a Notice of Assessment.

Yes. If this is your first time filing a return then you can create a CRA My Account after you have gotten your Notice of Assessment. 

 

The Notice of Assessment is sent to you by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). If you don't have a CRA My Account you will get it sent to you by mail.

Once you receive your notice of assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), you will need to create a "My Account" on the CRA website if they have no previous information about you. If the CRA doesn't have your bank account information, you can add it later using the "My Account" feature. If you are owed any tax refunds, it may take up to 8 weeks for you to receive a check in the mail.

It can take up to 8 weeks, you can get it much sooner.  Can you please clarify "notice to File" ?

Your refund cheque will be attached to your notice of assessment.

You can go here: Ways to sign up for direct deposit or update your account information

I received my notice of assessment, and tried to open a CRA account, i was asked to input the amount on line 14600, which is not on my NOA. 
How can I go about this?

@Hephzibah1 Line 14600 would be on the T1 form of your tax return. You can also see it in the Detailed Tax Summary.

@Hephzibah1 Both the Detailed Tax Summary and your T1 form will show Line 14600, even if that amount is not applicable to you or is zero. If you are looking at your tax return, make sure you are looking at the full archive/preview and not the condensed version.

Verify that the information that you have entered, is the same as you see on your Notice of Assessment. All of your personal information must match.

Once the Canada Revenu Agency has assessed your income tax return, your information will be in their system, and you can create a CRA MY ACCOUNT. The CRA will send you a Notice of Assessment once they have completed the assessment of your income tax return.
