What’s new this filing season - CVITP
Find out about the latest program updates for the 2023 Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) filing season and important reminders on security requirements. Some program related updates include:
Virtual Clinics
We will continue to support virtual clinics for the 2023 filing season.
Organizations can choose to also serve individuals residing in northern communities (prescribed zones) within Canada. Any approved CVITP organization willing to offer tax filing services to northern communities can now communicate this information in their clinic posting(s) on Canada.ca.
For more information on how to prepare tax returns virtually refer to Procedures for tax preparation.
EFILE
Registration/renewal
Changes have been made to the EFILE registration/renewal forms to improve the systems’ safety and security. As a result of these changes, all EFILE registrations or renewals now require a RepID.
- If you already have a RepID, you must provide it when you register/renew your account.
- If you do not have a RepID, you can obtain one by registering with Represent a Client.
Important dates for the upcoming filing season
EFILE transmission services are open from February 20, 2023 until January 26, 2024.
Note
It is no longer possible to electronically transmit tax returns for 2016 and the years prior.
For more information on EFILE, go to CRA electronic services - EFILE.
Represent a client
The CRA has increased the security requirements for Represent a Client. New registrants, or current users who have not met the security requirements, now need to enter more information, and a CRA security code.
For more information, consult Represent a client – What’s new.
Auto-fill my return service
If you are using Windows 11, (or in some cases prior versions of Windows) and are experiencing issues using Auto-fill My Return for a tax year prior to 2021, you must download the latest UFile CVITP update.
