We're sorry, the Canada Revenue Agency was unable to accept your NETFILE tax return.

It looks like this was an ongoing issue last week and I am still getting the same error message. Any suggestions???

NETFILE outages are brief and fixed quickly. So if you are unable to NETFILE and the error indicates it’s a connection problem, wait a few hours and then try again.

 

Also, please be aware that NETFILE is closed for daily maintenance for 3 hours a day. During this time, you will not be able to file your return. Please see this CRA page for the NETFILE hours of service: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/e-services/e-services-individuals/netfile-overview/...

 

If you continue to have problems with NETFILE, please post the error or a screenshot here on Live Community via this link: https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/community/forums/postpage/board-id/260

 

You can also message us on social media if you can't contact us by phone.

Below is the details of the error that I received.

Does that something to do with my husband's first time filling? This is my second time (filed in 2019), but this is the first time for my hubby since he and my son joined me last March 2020 only. Please advise, thanks.

I already have 2 attempts.

 

Message from the CRA:

The information sent to the Canada Revenue Agency doesn't match the identification information currently on record, which was provided by Service Canada when your social insurance number was issued. If you still get this error after your second attempt, please call the Canada Revenue Agency's Individual income tax and trust enquiries line at [phone number removed] for further details.

Getting that very same message too!  I thought it was because it is my son's first time filing.  Not sure if that's a good way to experience his first filing for return. 🙂
