Where to fill in access code for 2020 file?

[Desheng]

Hi, I tried to file my 2020 return with netfile and it is refused for missing access code. Please tell me how to fill in the access code for a 2020 file. Many thanks.

Hello Desheng,

 

Your unique Access code can be found on your Notice of Assessment (NOA) for a previous tax year. This eight-character Access code is made up of numbers and letters and is located on the right side of your NOA. The placement and labelling of the Access code differs slightly depending on the version of the NOA you are looking at, but will always be on the right side of the NOA.

 

On the paper version of your NOA as well as the PDF version in My Account, the Access code is not labelled, but can be found directly underneath the Date issued at the top right of the page. If you are viewing your NOA in My Account or using the Express NOA service in certified tax software, the Access code is found directly under the Notice details box at the top right of the page.

Note: 

This Access code is not mandatory.

The warning message does not prevent Netfiling :

"Are you sure you want to file your tax return without entering your Access code? If you do not enter your Access code, you will not be able to use information from your 2021 tax return when confirming your identity with the CRA.  Click here to review your data"

Hi Geo123, Many thanks to you. Please tell me where I can fill my access code into my 2020 return file before I submit it to cra? I have my access code already. Thanks.
