About CRA's mobile apps for individuals

Select the Log in option from the home screen of the MyCRA or MyBenefits CRA mobile web app. From the login page, you can register for a CRA user ID and password or you can choose to log in using a Sign-In Partner. For more information, see How do I register for a CRA user ID and password?

Note

Once you complete the registration process, you will be issued a CRA security code. You will need this security code to view your personal information on MyBenefits CRA and to access the full suite of functions in MyCRA. Once you receive your security code, we recommend entering the code when you log in so you can access all the services available. If your code has expired or you have lost your code, call 1-800-959-8281 to get a new one.

You will be asked to provide personal tax information if you have not registered for My Account, MyBenefits CRA, or MyCRA. For information on registering, go to How do I register for a CRA user ID and password? To access your tax information on MyCRA or your benefit and credit information on MyBenefits CRA, you will need to log in.

These apps are for individuals only. If you are looking for secure services for businesses, go to CRA BizApp or CRA login services.

No. While you can access MyCRA, MyBenefits CRA, and My Account using the same login information, the services offered are different. MyCRA allows mobile users to view their recent tax information, pay their tax balance owing, and more. MyBenefits CRA gives you quick access to personalized benefit and credit information in a format specifically designed for mobile devices. My Account offers you a more extensive list of services. For a complete list of services available through My Account, go to Help with My Account.

These apps are designed to work within a web browser with an active internet connection. If you are having difficulty launching the application due to connectivity issues, please contact your service provider or technical support team.
