How to Check If Your Tax Return Was Successfully Submitted on CloudTax

Check your CloudTax Submit page for a confirmation number or email confirmation, and if neither exists your return likely wasn’t filed yet, while CRA My Account can also confirm submission once available.

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
