Getting a tax return

There are several ways you can get the 2018 Income Tax Package or the 2018 Income Tax and Benefit Package (for non-residents and deemed residents of Canada).

On the Internet

You can get the Income Tax Package for 2018 or the 2018 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 About multiple formats.

You can also use the CRA's online order form to have a printed copy of the 2018 Income Tax Package, and any other forms and publications, mailed to you.

By mail

If you filed your 2017 tax return on paper, you should receive a 2018 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

A limited quantity of tax packages will be available in both official languages at Canada Post, Service Canada, and most Caisse populaire Desjardins outlets starting February 18, 2019.
