Transcript - Filing Online - Fast, Easy, and Secure

Welcome to the "Get Ready" webpage.

The Canada Revenue Agency, also known as the CRA,

has made filing your taxes online fast, easy, and secure.

Just follow these three easy steps...

Step 1: Get prepared

Select "Get prepared" to find out more about what records you

should gather before you file.

Like your receipts and T4 slips.

You can also register for "My Account" to change your address,

view tax slips, change your return,

check your benefit and credit payments, set up direct

deposit for a quicker refund, and so much more.

Did you know that when you file online and sign up for direct

deposit, you can get your refund in as little as eight days?

Also, don't forget to take a look at the credits and benefits

you might be eligible for.

Step 2: Get certified tax software

and enter your information

Select "Get certified tax software" for a list of software

certified for use by the CRA.

Some have a fee to use, and some are free.

Some software will ask you key questions about your income tax

situation and all you have to do is fill in the blanks.

Your information will come from the records

you gathered in step 1.

The software does all the calculations for you,

and allows you to review your return

and save or print a copy for your records.

Step 3: Send your return online to the CRA

Once you've submitted your return using the software,

you will receive a CRA confirmation number.

Keep this number for your records.

Don't forget you have until midnight on April 30, 2015,

to file your 2014 income tax and benefit return

and to pay any balance owing.

If you need to make a payment, online options are available.

Go to cra.gc.ca/payments.

That's it!

See you next year.
