Simplified Income Tax Return

We are giving a small number of people the option of doing their taxes using a new online service.

If you received a reminder letter but have already sent us your income tax return, no action is required on your part. You can track the progress of your return at any time in My Account for individuals.

The service will be available as of March 4, 2024.

Your participation is voluntary.

Give it a shot! There are no forms or calculations, what could be easier?

If you decline to use this service, you still have to file your income tax return.

Invitations were sent to eligible people only.

The eligibility requirements are as follows:

• You didn't have a spouse on December 31.
• You were resident in Québec on December 31.
• You didn’t earn income outside Québec in the year.
• You don’t have any business income, self-employment income, rental income or capital gains to report for the year.
• You didn’t declare bankruptcy in the year.

If this will be your first time using My Account for individuals or if you haven't used it for over two years, you must complete a few steps.

You can register or log in again using one of the following two services:

• Authentication service through your financial institution
• clicSÉQUR (Québec government’s authentication service)

The service is for the Québec return only.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) offers a similar service for the federal return. If you are eligible to use it, the CRA will send you a letter in February.

You may be eligible to take advantage of the income tax assistance program, which is provided free of charge.
If you have a modest income and a simple tax situation, a volunteer will help you complete your income tax returns and claim all the benefits and tax credits you are entitled to.

This year, you can use the new Complete and File a Simplified Income Tax Return online service.

If you do not want to use the service, simply file the return you received in the mail.

If you received a reminder letter but have already sent us your income tax return, no action is required on your part. You can track the progress of your return at any time in My Account for individuals.
