We know that filing taxes can feel overwhelming and confusing. That’s why we’re sharing information to help older Canadians put money back in their wallets and to make life more affordable for them.

For low-income Canadians aged 65 or older, it’s especially important they file their taxes on time, because tax returns are used to determine eligibility for financial supports like the Guaranteed Income Supplement or the GST rebate. Filing on time helps avoid unnecessary payment disruptions.

Tax credits to help make your life more affordable

To find out about other tax credits you may be eligible for, visit the Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA) All deductions, credits and expenses webpage.

Plan ahead!
Sign up now for direct deposit and file your taxes online with CRA’s NETFILE to help you avoid delays. Signing up for the CRA’s My Account is the best way to view and manage your tax and benefit information.

SimpleFile
The CRA’s SimpleFile services are free, quick and secure. They help people with a simple tax situation who have been invited to use the service to file their taxes.

Two million Canadians have been invited to use SimpleFile by Phone this tax season. As part of a new pilot, some may also be invited to try out the SimpleFile Digital online option.

The SimpleFile services will ask you to verify your information and provide answers to a few quick questions—there are no calculations for you to do. You can complete your tax return with SimpleFile from the comfort of your own home from 6 a.m. to 3 a.m. Eastern Time, 7 days a week.

SimpleFile by Phone: Use your phone’s keypad to file in as little as 5 to 10 minutes. You do not need to speak with an agent to use the SimpleFile service.

SimpleFile Digital: Use your computer or mobile device to file online in 20 minutes or less.

Did you retire or turn 65 in 2024?
The CRA’s Taxes when you retire or turn 65 webpage is filled with useful information! You can learn about the types of income to include in your tax return, how to reduce the tax you may owe, how your taxes are affected if you live abroad, and more.

Need help?
Volunteers in your community or online may be able to help you do your taxes if you have a modest income and a simple tax situation. Find a free tax clinic near you.

Looking for more information? Please check out the CRA’s tax tips for older adults.

Plan to file your taxes as soon as possible!
