Tax refunds: Transfer your refund

Transfer your refund to an instalment account

You can ask the Canada Revenue Agency to transfer your refund to an instalment account for 2020 by: 

• selecting this option when filing your tax return electronically
• attaching a note to your paper return

We will transfer your full refund to your instalment account. It will go towards any amount owing on your tax return.

See Paying by instalments

The CRA will not transfer your refund to pay another person’s amount owing.
