Street

The keyword Street is used to enter the client's street address.

If your client has an apartment number, enter this with the keyword Apartment .

This will allow DT Max to print the apartment number correctly on the first page of the return. This format is necessary for Quebec taxpayers, because DT Max must separate the street number, the street name and the apartment number.

Federal government's recommendations:

The record length for a client's street and/or mailing address is 60 characters (30 characters for Quebec). In order to ensure that the most accurate address information is captured for mailing purposes, the client's address information should be captured in the following order:

  1. Building unit identifier
    A number or alpha code which uniquely identifies a unit of a specific type within a building.
  2. Civic site street number
    Enter the number assigned to a specific civic site by the official municipality or relevant authority.
  3. Civic site street number suffix
    Enter an alpha character or fraction added to a civic site number by an official municipality or relevant authority.
  4. Street name
    Enter the full name of a street, roadway, or artery assigned by an official municipality or a relevant authority.
  5. Street type code
    Enter the street type code in addition to the street name to uniquely designate the street from other streets having the same street name.
  6. Street direction code
    Enter Canada Post Corporation's mnemonic code for street direction.

Note that if you don't enter an address for the spouse, it defaults to that of the family head. Similarly, the dependants' address defaults to that of their supporter.

Only when you enter a new family head does DT Max automatically prompt you to enter address data. DT Max does not prompt for this information for a new spouse or dependant. Enter an address only if it differs from that of the family head.

If you wish to enter these addresses manually, ensure that they are all entered in exactly the same way as that of the family head. Otherwise, DT Max will interpret any discrepancy in the format to be a different address.

Note also that if spouses live at the same address, it must be an exact match.

Note when living outside Canada or the United States, the Canada Revenue Agency, specifies that the street address should also include the foreign postal code.

If the taxpayer is a non resident or deemed resident use Country.a to enter the name of the country.

Secondary keywordFirst-Nation

All residents of the Yukon, including members of all 14 First Nations, are now subject to federal and territorial tax. New income tax collection and sharing agreements between the federal government, the Yukon government and many of the Yukon First Nations have been implemented.

These agreements enable taxpayers to reduce their federal and Yukon income tax payable and pay the corresponding amount of tax to the First Nation government responsible for the settlement land where they resided on December 31, 2025. The reduction amounts to 75% of basic federal tax and 95% of net Yukon tax.

The Government of Canada and the Tåîchô Government have concluded a personal income tax administration agreement that provides that the Government of Canada will share the field of personal income tax with the Tåîchô Government. It also provides for the co-ordination of the Tåîchô Income Tax Law with the federal Income Tax Act.

All individuals, including non-Tåîchô citizens, who reside on Tåîchô lands or in the Tåîchô communities of Behchokö (Rae-Edzo), Whatì (Lac La Martre), Gamètì (Rae Lakes), or Wekweètì (Snare Lake) are required to identify themselves by ticking ôYesö in the Residency information for tax administration agreements box on page 1 of the Northwest Territories 2025 Income Tax and Benefit Return.

Individuals, including Tåîchô citizens, who do not reside on Tåîchô lands or in a Tåîchô community should tick ôNoö in the Residency information for tax administration agreements box on page 1 of the Northwest Territories 2025 Income Tax and Benefit Return.

CRAForeignMailing

Do you have a foreign mailing address on file with the Canada Revenue Agency?

Address-New

Address-New Taxpayer's address changed since last year's return

Secondary keywordEffective-Date

Enter the effective date of the new address.

Address-Fam

To use a different address or telephone number for the spouse than that of the family head, in the spouse's interview, select Identification > Do you have the same address as your spouse?

If you answer YES (or leave the field blank), the address and phone number of the family head will also be used for the spouse.

If you answer NO, you will be able to enter a different address and telephone number on a separate Current address page.

If you answer Yes, but different phone number, the address of the family head will be used for the spouse, but a separate page titled Telephone numbers will be available in this person's interview.

Whether you answer YES or NO does not have any tax implication in the program.

However, in some provinces, there can be tax implications for having a separate residence from your spouse. The indication of separate residences for tax purposes is made in the (province) tax and credits section.

Select the option that best represents your situation.

If you are the designated spouse of the family head and live at the same address, you are not required to enter that address. The program will use your spouse's address and process the two of you as living together.

If you live separately from you spouse as a result of hospitalization or imprisonment, for example, you may want the program to process you and your spouse as if you were living together despite having different physical addresses. In such a case, the program will prompt you to enter your physical address but will treat you and your spouse as living together for tax purposes.

If neither situation applies, indicate that you live separately from your spouse. The program will then prompt you to enter your address and treat you and your spouse as living separately for tax purposes.
