When can I file my income tax return using NetFile Québec?
2022 income tax return
You can file your 2022 income tax return as of February 20, 2023.
Returns from previous years
You can file your original 2019, 2020 and 2021 income tax returns in the four-year period following the taxation year covered by the return, except during scheduled system closures (such as the one scheduled from January 27 to February 19, 2023).
Amended income tax returns
You can file an amended 2019, 2020, 2021 or 2022 income tax return as of February 20, 2023.
For an income tax return for a year prior to 2019, the request for an adjustment must be made using form TP-1.R-V, Request for an Adjustment to an Income Tax Return, which you must send by mail.
Returns being processed
If the income tax return that you want to adjust is being processed, you cannot request an adjustment online. Instead, you must:
- wait until your return has been processed and then use our online services or authorized software; or
- complete form TP-1.R-V and mail it to us.
Having your return filed by an accredited person
You can have an accredited person file your return.
Before having an accredited person file your return online, you must complete and sign two copies of the authorization form (TP-1000.TE-V, Online Filing of an Income Tax Return by an Accredited Person). You and the accredited person must each keep a copy of the form for a period of six years from the date on which the tax return was filed. Do not send us a copy unless we ask for it.
