When Can You File Taxes in Canada 2019

It used to be that in Canada you could file your tax return and claim your refund starting February 15th. Unfortunately in 2018 CRA pushed back the date to file taxes to February 26th. We are yet to get a confirmation date when CRA will start accepting tax returns this year while they update their system to receive the taxes.

Whether you think you owe taxes or not, early filing has benefits. If you owe taxes, early filing will give you enough time to have your return assessed well before the April 30^th deadline. If you don’t owe money, early filing will result in your refund reaching your bank account sooner. Winning!
