Filers prepare and transfer their tax returns to the CRA's website. Users might file up to 20 returns for every computer or online account.

Grasping Netfile

Netfile doesn't permit filers to make changes to personal data like name, address, date of birth, or direct deposit data. Changes to personal data require a traditional paper return or contact with the CRA.
