Getting a tax return

There are several ways you can get the 2020 Income Tax Package or the 2020 Income Tax and Benefit Package (for non-residents and deemed residents of Canada). 

On the Internet

You can get the Income Tax Package for 2020 or the 2020 Income Tax and Benefit Package (for non-residents and deemed residents of Canada) online. These forms and schedules are also available in multiple formats that can be accessed by persons who have a visual impairment. For information about these formats and accessibility, see Order alternate formats for persons with disabilities.

You can also use the CRA's online order form to have a printed copy of the 2020 Income Tax Package, and any other forms and publications, mailed to you.

By mail

If you filed your 2019 tax return on paper, you should receive a 2020 Income Tax Package in the mail. If you want to file on paper and didn’t receive an Income Tax Package, you can order a copy from the CRA.

In person

Limited quantities of the 2020 Income tax package will be made available in both official languages at select Service Canada outlet locations from February 24, to May 1, 2021.
