DebbieL 4 Report post Posted March 18, 2013 Hi I am filing my son's income tax for the 1st time and I click on 1st time from the CRA site and then when I try to send the file I get this: Our records indicate that you are filing an income tax return with the Canada Revenue Agency for the first time. Please return to the NETFILE transmission page to tick the box to indicate that you are filing an income tax return with the CRA for the first time, enter your name in the name fields in Step 1 and try to retransmit your return. Is there somewhere in Ufile that I should be addressing this issue? Please help Debbie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rossisen 25 Report post Posted May 3, 2014 I just phoned the help line and was advised to submit manually. I entered my son's full first and second names and the file was accepted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they don't, then you have to file by paper, which seems to have been the case with the original poster. "You cannot use NETFILE to file your tax return if: you are filing an income tax and benefit return for the first time with CRA and the CRA does not have a complete date of birth for the taxpayer on record;"http://www.netfile.gc.ca/rstrctns-eng.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
