NOTE: Once you file your NETFILE return, a preliminary check of your tax return will be performed. If your tax return meets the basic requirements, the Canada Revenue Agency will send you a confirmation number within minutes. This means that your tax return has been accepted for processing. If there are any problems with the electronic tax return you tried to send to the Canada Revenue Agency, you will be prompted with an explanation of error(s) that requires corrections. This means that your tax return was not accepted by the Canada Revenue Agency for processing. You can change the electronic version of your tax return and then try to send it again using the NETFILE.

MyAccount: You can track your return, setup a pre-authorized payment plan and check on your refund through My Account, our secure online service. You can register at MyAccount.

To change a return already filed, wait until you receive your Notice of Assessment then use the Change my return option on My Account. As of February 26th, 2018, you have the ability to use ReFILE for NETFILE. For a complete list of products certified to use ReFILE, please visit the Certified Software page on the NETFILE website.
