How do i file canadian income tax online

Filing Back Taxes in Canada You should file your taxes on time. In order to file your back taxes through the VDP, certain conditions must apply: You must be making a voluntary disclosure To qualify for the VDP, you must disclose information to the CRA before it contacts you for the information. This means that, if the CRA has already contacted you about previous year returns, or if the agency has taken compliance actions against you for not filing your taxes, you cannot use the VDP.

You need to include all relevant information You must disclose all undisclosed information to the CRA. This means that if there were several years where you did not file your taxes or did not file your taxes correctly you need to submit information on all of these years. You must also submit returns from that year.

A penalty must apply The VDP only applies if you owe money on previous returns. If you do not owe money, you should still file previous year taxes, but you do not need to use the Voluntary Disclosure Program to do so. The information must be at least a year overdue The VDP only applies to returns that are more than a year late.

If your return should have been filed in the last year, you cannot submit it using the VDP.
