Is this income tax package for you?
This income tax package provides the basic information you need to get ready, complete and file your paper Income Tax and Benefit Return. Use this information along with the instructions on the return and schedules. It tells you what types of income you must report, and which deductions and credits you can claim to help you figure out if you owe tax or if you will get a refund. Even if you had no income in the year, you have to file a return to get the benefits, credits, and refund you are entitled to.
This income tax package also applies to you if you resided outside Canada on December 31, 2020, and have significant residential ties with Canada. To make sure you are using the correct income tax package, see Which income tax package should you use?.
What's new for 2020?
We have outlined major tax changes and improvements to services below. We have also noted changes to income tax rules, including those that were announced, but that were not yet law when this guide was published. If they become law as proposed, they will be effective for 2020 or as of the dates given. You will find more information about some of these changes throughout the guide. New items are flagged with the word: New
The CRA’s services
The 2020 Income Tax Package includes the Federal Income Tax and Benefit Guide, return, schedules, and worksheet. It also includes a Provincial or Territorial Information Guide, provincial or territorial schedules and a worksheet. We have made several changes to this package to enhance our services, such as making the guide less complex and reducing paper use by removing text for income, deduction, and credit lines that are rarely used. If you need any information that is not provided in the guide, go to Taxes or call 1-800-959-8281.

For more information, see What is the Home Buyers' Plan (HBP)?.
Other employment expenses (line 22900 of the return) – If you worked from home in 2020 due to COVID-19, you may be able to claim certain employment expenses.

Amounts received related to COVID-19
During the year, you may have received federal, provincial, or territorial government COVID-19 payments such as the Canada Emergency Response Benefit. If these amounts are taxable, you will have received a slip, such as a T4A or T4E, with instructions for how to report these amounts. These slips also are available in My Account for Individuals.
If you are self-employed, you may have received federal, provincial, or territorial government COVID-19 assistance for your business, such as the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy. Generally, you have to either include these amounts in business income or reduce your expenses by the amounts that you received. You may also have received a government loan. The loan itself is not taxable, but you have to include in your business income any portion of the loan that is forgivable.
Even if you received an information slip showing taxable income, if you received any part of these amounts based on income that is exempt from tax under the Indian Act, complete Form T90, Income Exempt From Tax Under the Indian Act.
If you received the Canada Recovery Benefit, you may have to repay all or part of it, if your net income after certain adjustments is more than $38,000. The repayment is calculated on the Worksheet for the return at line 23500, as part of the social benefits repayment calculation.

- Guaranteed income supplement (GIS)
- GST/HST credit
- Canada child benefit (CCB)
- related provincial and territorial programs
If you have a spouse or common-law partner, they also have to file a return. For more information, see Booklet T4114, Canada Child Benefit and related provincial and territorial programs, and Guide RC4210, GST/HST Credit.
Penalties
The CRA may charge you a penalty if any of the following applies:
- You filed your return late and you owe tax for 2020
- You failed to report an amount on your return for 2020 and you also failed to report an amount on your return for 2017, 2018, or 2019
- You knowingly or under circumstances amounting to gross negligence have made a false statement or an omission on your 2020 return
For more information, go to Interest and penalties.
Interest
Interest you must pay to the CRA
If you have a balance owing for 2020, the CRA charges compound daily interest starting May 1, 2021, on any unpaid amounts owing for 2020. This includes any balance owing if the CRA reassesses your return.
Interest paid to you by the CRA
The CRA will pay you compound daily interest on your tax refund for 2020 in some situations. The calculation will start on the latest of the following three dates:
- May 30, 2021
- the 30th day after you file your return
- the day after you overpaid your taxes
Cancel or waive penalties or interest
The CRA administers legislation, commonly called taxpayer relief provisions, that allows the CRA discretion to cancel or waive penalties or interest when taxpayers cannot meet their tax obligations due to circumstances beyond their control.
The CRA’s discretion to grant relief is limited to any period that ended within 10 calendar years before the year in which a request is made.
For penalties, the CRA will consider your request only if it relates to a tax year or fiscal period ending in any of the 10 calendar years before the year in which you make your request. For example, your request made in 2021 must relate to a penalty for a tax year or fiscal period ending in 2011 or later.
For interest on a balance owing for any tax year or fiscal period, the CRA will consider only the amounts that accrued during the 10 calendar years before the year in which you make your request. For example, your request made in 2019 must relate to interest that accrued in 2009 or later.
To make a request, fill out Form RC4288, Request for Taxpayer Relief – Cancel or Waive Penalties or Interest. For more information about relief from penalties or interest and how to submit your request, go to Taxpayer relief provisions.
Gather all your documents
Gather all the information slips, receipts, and supporting documents you need to report your income and claim any deductions or credits.
What if you are missing information?
File your return on time even if you do not have all of your slips or receipts. You are responsible for reporting your income from all sources to avoid any penalties and interest that may be charged. If you have not received your slip by early April or if you have any questions about an amount on a slip, contact the payer.
Did you know...
If you know you won’t be able to get a missing information slip by the due date, use your pay stubs or statements to estimate your income and any related deductions and credits you can claim. Enter the estimated amounts on the appropriate lines of your return.

Step 1 – Identification and other information
Use the instructions provided on your return to complete Step 1. This will provide the CRA with information about you and your spouse or common-law partner, if you have one, as well as other information needed to process your return.
In this section of the guide, you will only find information you may need to supplement the instructions provided on the return.
Email address
If you would like to receive email notifications from the CRA, read and agree to the terms of use for email notifications below, and enter an email address. You can also register by going to My Account for Individuals, logging in to your account, and selecting the “Notification preferences” service.
Terms of use for email notifications
The CRA will send email notifications to the email address you have provided in order to notify you of any CRA mail available in My Account, and to notify you of certain changes to the account information, and other important information about the account. The notifications that are eligible for this service may change. As new types of notifications are added or removed from this service, you may not be notified of each change.
To view CRA mail online, you must be registered for My Account, and/or your representative must be registered for Represent a Client and be authorized on this account. All CRA mail available in My Account is presumed to have been received on the date that the email notification is sent. Any mail that is eligible for electronic delivery will no longer be printed and mailed.
It is your responsibility to ensure that the email address provided to the CRA is accurate, and to update it when there is any change to that email address. CRA email notifications are subject to the terms of any agreement with your mobile carrier or Internet Service Provider. You are responsible for any fees imposed by them.
These email notifications are sent unencrypted and unsecured. The email notifications could be lost or intercepted, or could be viewed or altered by others who have access to your email account. You accept this risk and acknowledge that the CRA will not be liable if you are unable to access or receive the email notifications, nor for any delay or inability to deliver notifications.
These terms of use may be changed from time to time. The CRA will provide notice in advance of the effective date of the new terms. You agree that the CRA may notify you of these changes by emailing either the new terms, or notice of where the new terms can be found, to the email address that you provided. You agree that your use of the service after the effective date of any change to these terms constitutes your agreement to the new terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, you must remove the email address provided and no longer use the service.
Information about your residence
Enter the province or territory where you lived or of which you were considered to be a factual resident on December 31, 2020. The CRA needs this information to calculate your taxes, benefits, and credits correctly.
Information about you
For more information about the social insurance number (SIN), including how to apply for one, go to Employment and Social Development Canada.
Marital status
Enter your marital status on December 31, 2020.
“Married” means you have a spouse. This only applies to a person to whom you are legally married.
“Living common-law” means you are living with a person who is not your spouse, but with whom you have a conjugal relationship, and to whom at least one of the following situations applies:
a) They have been living with you in a conjugal relationship for at least 12 continuous months.
Note
In this definition, 12 continuous months includes any period during which you were separated for less than 90 days because of a breakdown in the relationship.
b) They are the parent of your child by birth or adoption.
c) They have custody and control of your child (or had custody and control immediately before the child turned 19 years of age) and your child is wholly dependent on them for support.
“Separated” means that you have been living apart from your spouse or common-law partner because of a breakdown in the relationship for a period of at least 90 days and you have not reconciled. Once you have been separated for 90 days because of a breakdown in the relationship, the effective day of your separated status is the day you started living apart.
If you file your return before your 90-day separation period (which includes December 31) is over, you should continue to indicate a marital status of married or living common-law, as applicable. However, if after filing the return you continue to live separate and apart from your spouse or common-law partner for at least 90 days, you should complete and submit Form RC65, Marital Status Change. Use the date of the beginning of the 90-day period as your date of separation.
Did you know...
You are still considered to have a spouse or common-law partner if you were separated involuntarily (not because of a breakdown in your relationship). An involuntary separation could happen when one spouse or common-law partner is living away for work, school, or health reasons or is incarcerated.
“Widowed” means that you had a spouse or common-law partner who is now deceased.
“Divorced” means that you have legally been divorced from your former spouse.
“Single” should be chosen when none of the other marital status options apply to you.
Information about your spouse or common-law partner
Enter the amounts that are, or would be, reported on your spouse’s or common-law partner’s return. For the net income, enter the amount that is, or would be, reported on line 23600 of that return, even if it is zero.
Note
Your spouse or common-law partner may still have to file a return for 2020, even if you enter this amount on page 1 of your return.
Residency information for tax administration agreements (page 1 of your return)
In some provinces and territories, you are also required to identify whether or not you resided on the settlement lands of an Aboriginal government on December 31, 2020.
These Aboriginal governments are:
- Nisga’a Lisims Government (in British Columbia)
- Nunatsiavut Government (in Newfoundland and Labrador)
- Tåîchô Government and Délı̨nę Got’ı̨nę Government (in the Northwest Territories)
- eleven self-governing Yukon First Nations
Individuals who resided on the settlement lands of an Aboriginal government in Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and British Columbia may also have to respond to another question in this section of the return, identifying if they are a citizen or member of one of these Aboriginal governments.
Your response to these questions will not impact the amount of tax you pay; however, it will ensure that the Aboriginal government receives the correct tax revenue in accordance with its personal income tax administration agreement. For more information, go to Information on the tax exemption under section 87 of the Indian Act.
Elections Canada (page 2 of your return)
Ticking the “Yes” boxes in the Elections Canada section is an easy way to keep your voter registration up to date, if you are qualified to vote. As well, Canadian youth aged 14 to 17 have the opportunity to add their names to the Register of Future Electors.
Elections Canada will use the information you provide to update the National Register of Electors, the database of Canadian citizens qualified to vote in federal elections, by-elections and referendums, or the Register of Future Electors, if you are aged 14 to 17. The Register of Future Electors allows young Canadian citizens aged 14 to 17 to register before turning 18; once they turn 18 and their eligibility is confirmed, they are added to the National Register of Electors.
Elections Canada uses the information in the National Register of Electors to prepare lists of electors for federal elections and referendums, and to communicate with voters. Other uses of the information permitted under the Canada Elections Act include providing voter information to provincial and territorial electoral agencies for uses permitted under their respective legislations, and providing voter information (not including birth dates) to members of Parliament, registered and eligible political parties and candidates at election time.
Information in the Register of Future Electors cannot be shared with members of Parliament, registered or eligible political parties, or candidates. It can, however, be shared with those provincial and territorial electoral agencies who are allowed to collect future elector information under their respective legislation. It can also be used by Elections Canada to provide youth with educational information about the electoral process.
Only persons who have Canadian citizenship and are 18 years of age or older are qualified to vote. Generally, you are a Canadian citizen either by birth or if you have obtained Canadian citizenship through the formal process of becoming a Canadian citizen (naturalization). If you are unsure about your Canadian citizenship status, refer to the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada website at See if you may be a citizen.
These questions are optional. If you are a Canadian citizen and are 18 and over, you will not lose your right to vote, regardless of whether you answer the questions or leave them blank. The CRA does not use this information for the purpose of processing your return.
If you have Canadian citizenship and authorize the CRA to share your name, address, date of birth, and Canadian citizenship confirmation with Elections Canada, tick “Yes” to both questions. If you do not authorize the CRA to share your information with Elections Canada, tick “No” to question B.
If you do not have Canadian citizenship, tick “No” to question A and leave question B blank.
If during the year you change your mind about the CRA sharing your information with Elections Canada, call the CRA at 1-800-959-8281 to remove your authorization. To be removed from either Register, contact Elections Canada.
If you tick “No” to question B
- The CRA will not give any of your information to Elections Canada
- Elections Canada will not remove your information from either Register if your name is already there or from federal lists of electors if you are a Canadian citizen and are 18 and over
- If there is a federal election, by-election or referendum and you are a Canadian citizen and are 18 or over but not already registered with Elections Canada, you will have to register before you vote
- If you are a Canadian citizen and are not yet 18, you will need to take steps to register with Elections Canada after you turn 18 in order to vote
Do not complete this section for a deceased person. If you are completing a return for a deceased person who consented to provide information to Elections Canada on their last return, the CRA will notify Elections Canada who will then remove the deceased person’s name from the relevant Register.
For more information, visit Elections Canada or call 1-800-463-6868. Teletypewriter users can call 1-800-361-8935.
