About EFILE

The program allows you to electronically transmit returns (EFILE) to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and  Revenu Québec (RQ).

EFILE is an automated system allowing you to transmit the information contained in personal tax returns to tax authorities via the Internet. EFILE is not an assessment system: it is a different method of delivering tax information to the tax authorities.

Most of the information required for electronic transmission is entered when the return is prepared. However, as the only information available to the tax authorities for establishing the taxpayer’s assessment is what is contained in the transmission file, certain details or information not required for paper-filed returns must be entered by the preparer for electronic transmission purposes.
