Is Canada Revenue Agency down? User reports show no current problems with Canada Revenue Agency

Is Canada Revenue Agency down right now?

Canada Revenue Agency sign-in is working for most people right now. The Canada Revenue Agency status on this page is built from live visitor reports. When reports jump, My Account or the sign-in service is usually under strain.

Short faults are common here, since the service also closes for overnight maintenance. A page that fails at night often works again by morning. Check the report level here before you blame your password.

Is Canada Revenue Agency down for me or everyone?

Reports from many provinces at the same time point to a Canada Revenue Agency outage on their side. A fault that hits only you often sits with your sign-in route. Try a second route, such as a Sign-In Partner instead of your CRA user ID. The split shows if the agency is down for everyone or just for you.

CRA user ID, password and locked accounts

My Account uses its own CRA user ID and password. A GCKey does not open it. Wrong tries at the user ID, password or security questions lock the account, and more guessing only makes the wait longer.

Some people get an email saying their user ID and password were revoked. That means the CRA thinks the login may be at risk. The old details will never work again. You need a new user ID, made through the register again route or a Sign-In Partner.

One-time passcodes that never arrive

After your password, the service sends a one-time passcode to your phone or app. Codes fail when the phone number on file is old, or when texts are blocked as spam. Wrong codes typed too many times lock sign-in for a short set time. Wait for that lock to end rather than asking for code after code.

Sign-In Partner problems

Bank sign-in works only with the bank you picked when you set it up. A new bank, a changed bank password or a bank outage breaks the route. Your tax account itself is fine. Sign in with your CRA user ID instead, or register again and link the new bank.

Notices and pages that will not open

Inside the account, notices can refuse to open and pages can time out under load. Mail and payment pages tend to fail first. A different browser or a cleared cache often loads them. If reports here are high, the pages will likely work again once traffic settles.

Common Canada Revenue Agency Problems and Fixes

Most CRA sign-in faults have a clear cause. Work through these steps in order.

Your CRA account is locked

Stop trying to sign in, since more wrong tries extend the lock. If the lock came from wrong passcodes, wait for the set time to pass.

Your user ID and password were revoked

The old login is dead and cannot be restored. Register again with a new user ID and password, and keep your phone ready for the passcode step. If you cannot finish online, the CRA can verify you by phone instead.

The one-time passcode never arrives

Check the phone number shown on the passcode screen is still yours. Look in spam or blocked folders for text codes.

You forgot your user ID or password

Use the forgot links on the CRA sign-in page. You will need your SIN, your birth date, an amount from a past assessed return and your security answers. If the security answers fail, register again rather than guessing.

The sign-in page will not load

Check the time first, since the service closes for overnight maintenance. Clear cookies and cache, then load the sign-in page fresh rather than from an old bookmark. Colombian citizens keep every state paper inside one digital folder, and they check the Carpeta Ciudadana status when the folder loads empty.
