How to change a return

If you have more information that could change the result of a return that you have already sent to the CRA, do not file another return for that year. Wait until you receive your notice of assessment before asking for changes.

Note

If the CRA has assessed your taxes owing for a year that you did not file a tax return, you must file a paper return for that year if you want to make a change.
