Correcting an Error or Omission
To make changes to an income tax return that has already been filed, do not file a new return. Instead, do one of the following:
- Use the online service in My Account for individuals for requesting to change income tax return information (see "Using My Account to request to change income tax return information" below).
- Complete form TP-1.R-V, Request for an Adjustment to an Income Tax Return, and mail it to us, together with the documents justifying your request.
- If your request concerns the 2020, 2019 or 2018 taxation years and you completed your return using commercial software authorized by Revenu Québec, use the same software to send us the amended return electronically or by mail (if you send it electronically, do not send us a paper copy).
Note that you must complete form TP-1.R-V and mail it to us if any of the following situations apply to you:
- You are unable to change the information for a line of the income tax return using the online service.
- You want to request an adjustment to an income tax return for a year preceding 2017.
- Your income tax return is currently being processed.
- Your income tax return covers a period from January 1 to the day preceding the day of your bankruptcy.
- Your income tax return is for a year preceding the year of your bankruptcy.
- You filed form TP-22-V, Income Tax Payable by an Individual Who Carries On a Business in Canada, Outside Québec, or form TP-25-V, Income Tax Payable by an Individual Resident in Canada, Outside Québec, Who Carries On a Business in Québec, with your income tax return.
- You contested, by means of a notice of objection or of an appeal to the Court of Québec (Civil Division), a notice of assessment that we sent you after processing your income tax return.
If you believe that making changes to an income tax return would mean incurring penalties or interest under fiscal legislation, you may be able to rectify your tax situation by filing a voluntary disclosure application. By doing so, you may benefit from penalty or interest relief. See Voluntary Disclosure: Rectifying Your Tax Situation for more information.
Return being processed
If you cannot request to change income tax return information online because your income tax return is being processed, you can do either of the following:
- Wait until your return has been processed to use the online service.
- Complete form TP-1.R-V, Request for an Adjustment to an Income Tax Return, and mail it to us.
If the change concerns only the transfer of tax credits from one spouse to the other, do not request the change. We will make the adjustment to your income tax return when processing it.

Using authorized software to request to change income tax return information
If you use authorized software to request to change income tax return information, you can change the amount on any line for the current year and the two previous years.

Use the online service in My Account for individuals for viewing income tax return information for previous years to see the details for each line of the returns for the last three taxation years.
Deadlines
Generally speaking, you can request a refund or adjustment to reduce your income tax payable for a taxation year that ended in one of the ten preceding calendar years. In 2021, for example, you can make such a request for the 2011 to 2020 taxation years.
However, the ten-year limit does not apply to the solidarity tax credit. If you forgot to claim the solidarity tax credit, click Claiming the Credit to find out what the deadline in that case is.
