Tax Information Phone Service (TIPS)

Personal Identification Number 

You now have the option of using a Personal Identification Number (PIN) when calling the Individual Tax and Benefits enquiries lines. A PIN is a fast and secure way for you to identify yourself when calling the Canada Revenue Agency. You can setup a PIN in My Account.

To create a PIN with a call centre agent, you will need to provide personal information from your tax account.
