How do I file my tax return?

To file your return using NETFILE, you have to agree to certain terms and conditions, which you should review now. Once you've agreed to these terms and conditions, enter the following information:

your social insurance number;
your date of birth;
your four-digit access code (from your tax package); and
the location of your ".tax" file containing your tax return prepared using NETFILE-certified tax preparation software or Web application.

After you've entered this information, you'll have to read a declaration and select the appropriate link to indicate whether you're ready to file your tax return. If you decide to file, be sure to wait a few seconds while your file is uploaded. Then you'll receive your confirmation number. Keep this number for your records — write it down, print it, or save the Web page.
