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.

Thank you for teaching me. I will wait to hear from CRA.

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. 

 

Thank you for using TurboTax.

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