Prior-year tax return packages

Many of our forms and guides are frequently updated, sometimes every year, because of important changes for that year.

The three most common reasons you would use a form or publication for a previous year are:

• To file an original tax return for a previous year

• To ask for an adjustment to a previous-year's tax return that you've already filed (do not file another return for that year)

• To declare income under the Voluntary Disclosures Program

See the bottom of this page for tax packages for previous years.

See the forms and publications list to search for other prior-year documents. You can search by:

• Reference number (e.g., Form T1-M, Moving Expenses Deduction , or pamphlet P105, Students and Income Tax )

• Document type (e.g., forms, guides, pamphlets, schedules, interpretation bulletins, information circulars)

• Topic (e.g., capital gains, day care, registered plans, moving)

• Client group (e.g., people with disabilities, farmers, fishers,
  non-residents, seniors, students, visitors to Canada)

If the form or publication for the year you need is not on the list, use the current version.
