If you’re unsure whether your tax return was successfully filed through CloudTax, there are a few quick ways to confirm your submission.
1. Check Your Submission Status in CloudTax
Start by logging into your CloudTax account and navigating to the Submit page.
If you see a confirmation number, your return has been successfully filed with the CRA.
If there is no confirmation number, your return has most likely not been submitted yet.
In that case, simply continue through the submission steps and click the appropriate buttons to file your return directly with the CRA.
2. Look for Your Confirmation Email
Once your return is successfully filed, CloudTax automatically sends you an email confirmation.
This email includes your confirmation code as proof of submission.
If you didn’t receive this email, double-check your spam or junk folder.
3. Check Your CRA My Account
You can also verify your filing status through your CRA account.
Log in to CRA My Account
Your return should appear as submitted and may show as processing
4. First-Time Filers
If this is your first time filing taxes, you won’t be able to access CRA My Account right away.
You’ll need to wait for a security code by mail from the CRA to complete your account setup
Until then, rely on your CloudTax confirmation number and email for proof of filing
