Step 1: Verify if you are eligible to send your tax return
via
NETFILE
=====================================================
1. Login to UFile ONLINE:
https://secure.drtax.ca/ufile/login.aspx
2. Look in the "Warnings" section. If you see
the message "You cannot currently NetFile your federal
return", review the reasons and make the required
corrections, if possible.
Step 2: Submit the return to the
CRA
=====================================================
Once you are satisfied with the results, proceed as follows:
You can send the tax return to the CRA only by using the
automatic method. The manual method was removed by the CRA.
To file your return to the CRA, please follow the
instructions:
1. Click on the "Tax return" tab.
2. Go to NETFILE CRA.
NOTE: If you are ineligible,
please return in "Results" tab to view the error
messages, and fix the errors.
3. Click the button "NETFILE CRA".
4. To proceed with NETFILE's online transmission, you must agree to
the "Terms and conditions", then click
Next;
5. Verify your personal information: name, SIN, date of birth;
6. If you have a middle name, enter it in the box "Middle
name".
7. If your information is correct, click « File my return
now ». The program will build an ".tax"
file, which is a specially formatted file that contains your
electronic tax return. The ".tax" suffix refers to
the last part of the name of this file.
If your return meets the basic requirements, you will receive a
confirmation number within minutes. This means that your tax return
has been accepted for processing.
Occasionally, the ".tax" file transmitted to
the CRA will be rejected due to errors. In this case, you will
receive a NETFILE error code from the CRA together with a
description of the problem.
In some cases, there isn't anything you can do about the error
(for instance, an error will be diagnosed if you re-transmit your
file after it has already been accepted). For other errors, you
will need to correct your tax information under
Interview and then repeat the steps to transmit the
".tax" file.
