Always read your Notice of Assessment-particularly if CRA adjusted your claim (say down to 0) for an amount. Understand why (see if you can figure out the reason for it) so you can make a note for your records and keep it in mind for next year. If something seems wrong, follow up with CRA on the item-people there do make mistakes too.

If you have not filed before the deadline and you are eligible for benefit payments, you are possibly delaying your access to the benefits as the tax return sets up the new benefits payments beginning in July.

The tax year covers the calendar year from January 1 to December 31 and represents the tax year for the return filed or due to be filed.


Status of return


We start processing returns mid-February and will provide the current status for your return as follows:

• Not received
• Means that we have not received your return, or it has been received but not entered into our computer system.
  
  If you filed a paper return on or before April 15, it could take four weeks before it shows as received. If you filed a paper return after April 15, it could take six weeks before it shows as received.
  
  If you filed your return using EFILE or NETFILE it will show as received shortly after you receive your confirmation number.
• Received
  Means that we have received your return, but that it has not yet been assessed.
  
  We usually process paper returns in four to six weeks and EFILE and NETFILEreturns in two weeks. Some exceptions apply. For more information, go toReview of your tax return by CRA.
• Assessed
  Means that this tax return has been processed by our computer system for the first time, and your Notice of Assessment has been sent to you.
• Reassessment in progress
  Means that a change request for your return is in progress. When there is a ‘*’ displayed then confirmation numbers are noted at the bottom of the page.
• Reassessed
  Means that your return has been changed, and a Notice of Reassessment has been sent to you.
  
  We usually respond to a paper taxpayer requested adjustment within eight weeks and internet requests using the Change My Return option within two weeks.

This is the date your return was assessed or reassessed. A dash (–) in this field means that the return has not yet been received or assessed.
You can view detailed information about assessments or reassessments by selectingAssessed or Reassessed.
