Simplified sign-in process
The CRA has introduced a simplified sign-in process to make it easier to access the My Account, My Business Account, and Represent a Client portals with a single sign-in. If you previously registered for these portals, use your existing credentials and select a sign-in option below to access your CRA account.

Sign in to your CRA account: Option 1
Sign in with your existing credential:
Before you sign in
Signing in on behalf of someone else
If you are signing in on behalf of someone else (including friends and family members) you must use Represent a Client in your CRA account to access their information.
Do not use autofill on a shared device
Do not use autofill for your online banking information if you are on a shared device. When you are on your Sign-In Partner's website, ensure it is your information that is entered and not that of somebody else.
If you register with someone else's banking credentials by mistake and link your SIN to them, the other person will have access to your tax information.
