Will cra mail my notice of assessment

According to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), they will typically mail a Notice of Assessment (NOA) to you within 4-6 weeks after they receive your tax return. However, this timeframe may vary depending on the complexity of your return and the workload of the CRA.

Here are some scenarios where the CRA may not mail a Notice of Assessment:

  1. Electronic filing: If you filed your tax return electronically, you may not receive a paper copy of your Notice of Assessment. Instead, you can access your assessment online through the CRA's My Account service.
  2. No changes: If your tax return is accepted as is, without any changes or adjustments, the CRA may not send a Notice of Assessment.
  3. No tax owing: If you don't owe any taxes, the CRA may not send a Notice of Assessment.
  4. Lost or undeliverable: If the CRA tries to mail your Notice of Assessment but it's lost or undeliverable, they may not resend it.

If you haven't received your Notice of Assessment and you're concerned about your tax situation, you can:

  1. Check your My Account online: Log in to your CRA My Account to see if your Notice of Assessment is available online.
  2. Contact the CRA: Reach out to the CRA by phone or email to inquire about the status of your Notice of Assessment.
  3. Request a duplicate: If you've lost or misplaced your Notice of Assessment, you can request a duplicate copy from the CRA.

Remember to keep your Notice of Assessment safe, as it serves as proof of your tax filing and may be required for future tax-related purposes.
