I have changed my bank Account and address. Can I inform these changes while Net Filing my return to CRA?

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:09:00 GMT

CRA does not allow changes to your name, address or banking information via netfile. You have to call CRA at 1-800-959-8281 to change your address. CRA updates their system within 24 to 48 hours to reflect any address changes.

To update your bank account information, you must complete and mail Direct Deposit Form to CRA. CRA may take longer to process the Direct Deposit request. It may be better for you to call CRA to cancel the existing direct deposit information and then send new direct deposit request later on.

I took part time courses. Where do I claim my tuition fees?

Your education institution will issue you a T2202/T2202A/TL11A. Enter the relevant columns in Step 2- 'Information Slips'. If you wish, you can transfer the tuition fees to your spouse, parents, or grandparents. Enter the transferred amount in the same step. You need to specify separately the amounts to transfer for federal and provincial purposes. Federally, you cannot transfer more than $5,000. Provincial amounts will vary, depending on your province.

If you have unused tuition amounts from a previous year, enter this separately at Step 3- 'Federal Non-refundable Credits', 'Provincial Tax, Credits and Items' respectively for Federal and Provincial purposes. If you do not know the unused tuition fees amount, you can obtain this information from the CRA by calling 1-800-959-8281.

I'm in a common-law relationship. Will both of us will be required to file the returns together? My common-law spouse has not yet received her T4 Slip.

Using Netfile, only one return can be submitted at a time. You still need to enter your spouse's net income on 'Spousal Information' under Pages Mode for the calculation of various credits.

We suggest linking your spouse's return in the same data file of yours, if it is feasible. The software will then pick-up the net income from the other spouse's return for the purpose of calculation of various credits like GST, Spousal, Childcare expenses, Provincial credits like rent etc. If this is not possible, you will be required to give the details of your spouse on the 'Spouse' page.
