Information alerts
Availability of tax information in the CRA’s portals and the Auto-fill my return service
We are aware that some 2024 tax slips are not yet available in My Account, Represent a Client, or through the Auto-fill my return service. We are working hard to make all slips available as soon as possible. If you do not see a tax slip in your CRA account, we recommend using the slip provided by the issuer (e.g., your financial institution or employer).
Additionally, the TFSA contribution limit displayed in your CRA account may not be up to date with the latest information. To avoid overcontributing, we encourage you to review the records provided by your issuer while we work to update the information in your online account. We regret any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
Simplified sign-in process
The CRA has introduced a simplified sign-in process to make it easier to access the My Account, My Business Account, and Represent a Client portals with a single sign-in. If you previously registered for these portals, use your existing credentials and select a sign-in option below to access your CRA account.

Sign in to your CRA account: Option 1
Sign in with your existing credential:
Before you sign in
Signing in on behalf of someone else
If you are signing in on behalf of someone else (including friends and family members) you must use Represent a Client in your CRA account to access their information.
Do not use autofill on a shared device
Do not use autofill for your online banking information if you are on a shared device. When you are on your Sign-In Partner's website, ensure it is your information that is entered and not that of somebody else.
If you register with someone else's banking credentials by mistake and link your SIN to them, the other person will have access to your tax information.
