How can I check on the status of my tax return?

To check the status of your tax return, you'll need to have a CRA My Account profile. If you don't have a profile, visit the CRA website to sign up.

Once completed, follow the instructions provided to check the status of your return:

1. Submit your return through TurboTax using the CRA’s NETFILE service or by mail. Once you've successfully submitted your return using NETFILE, TurboTax displays your CRA confirmation number.
2. Register for the CRA’s My Account service, if you haven't already.
3. Sign in to your CRA My Account.
4. The status of your tax return is displayed in the Tax returns section.

You can find a list of the CRA's return statuses here.

Troubleshooting

Important: Contact the CRA and ask them to place a trace on your return if all of the following apply to you:

• You've confirmed that you have a valid NETFILE confirmation number
• Your CRA My Account doesn't reflect that your return was received or assessed
• It's been more than 10 business days since you submitted your return
