Perfect thank you! Just waiting for the young man now to show up.Turbotax, H&R Block, Wealthsimple ...all free and all easy to use...all CRA approved...
That's always been the case. Welcome to the ballers club.Heads up, it appears that if you end up paying more than 3K in personal income tax after you're assessed, CRA now wants you to pay the following years taxes in quarterly instalments throughout the year . Good grief......
Down the rabbit hole again.
Canada Revenue Agency sends me an email saying they have important information for me regarding my 2021 tax return that can only be accessed via my online account.
I don't have an online account and their system won't allow me to create one ??? Does that mean I have to phone them (again), wait on the line until an agent is free (if ever) or should I just ignore them and wait for a paper statement to arrive in the mail ?
There's a Joseph Heller novel in here somewhere.
That's what I got, but the CRA website won't let me sign in ???If it does not have a link it could be legitimate especially if you have to pay a balance after filing your 2021 return.
I received an email notice 5 minutes after filing my tax return with a similar message.
Once I logged into CRA, a message was in the inbox saying that they had expressed my return and advised that i now had until May 24 to pay my balance without an incurred penalty.
The amount was precisely what I calculated it to be.
Looks like they are trying is to deter people from waiting for their notice of assessment before paying their balance.
Here is a Copy of the letter.
Dear XX

Locked out.Which method are you trying to use to login?
Either way should let you log in immediately using a two-factor authentication code that they'll text to you.
- By using your banking credentials, or
- By creating a login directly on the CRA site
During the login process you'll also be prompted to enter (or request) your Account Code, which is the thing that takes 10 days to snail mail to you. You can continue to log in without it, but you won't be able to see your notice of assessment.
FWIW, when they wanted something from me, the email said "New mail online called: Initial Contact Letter". When they had looked at what I submitted "New mail online called: Review Letter". Ideally those would be slightly more descriptive so you had an idea what the mail was.Locked out.
Right now I'm just going to wait and see if anything shows up in the mail.FWIW, when they wanted something from me, the email said "New mail online called: Initial Contact Letter".

I got no paper related to the request but they could presumably see that I read it and I replied by the deadline. It would make sense to mail a paper copy if you haven't looked in a week. Govt rarely makes sense. Good luck.Right now I'm just going to wait and see if anything shows up in the mail.
