As the 2025 tax season approaches, the Canada Revenue Agency has refreshed its website to make it easier for Canadians to sign in to their online accounts.
The CRA said in a news release on Wednesday that it has “simplified its sign-in process, making it easier to access the My Account, My Business Account, and Represent a Client portals with a single sign in.”
“We are prioritizing improvements to our digital services to make it easier to self-serve, while ensuring services are secure, efficient, and responsive to the needs of Canadians,” the federal tax agency said.
CRA account holders can now access all services in My Account, My Business Account, and Represent a Client with one click as opposed to signing in separately, which was the case before.
Users can sign-in with their existing username and password and don’t to have to register again, CRA says.
The agency adds that “this new sign-in process is safe and secure.”
Canadians can start filing their 2024 tax returns online on Feb. 24 and the deadline to do so is April 30.
The federal government is pushing ahead on automatic tax filing, with a national pilot program expected to continue this year.
