When is NETFILE available?

by TurboTax• Updated 1 week ago

The CRA’s NETFILE service is open and available for tax year 2024 on February 19, 2024.

Once NETFILE is open, it's available 21 hours a day, seven days a week. The service is down the remaining three hours a day for maintenance. If, for whatever reason, you miss the tax filing deadline which was applicable to you, you are still able to use the NETFILE service.

For more information and updates, visit the CRA's NETFILE service hours of operation page.

Note: TurboTax Desktop users will need to update their product once NETFILE opens to enable functionality.
