The Complete Guide to Auto-Fill My Return (AFR) | Taxccount Canada
Filing taxes doesn’t have to be stressful. Auto-Fill My Return (AFR) is a secure online service offered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) that makes personal and business tax filing faster, easier, and more accurate. By securely retrieving your tax slips and pre-filled financial information, AFR saves you time, reduces human error, and helps ensure nothing gets missed.
What Is Auto-Fill My Return (AFR)?

- RRSP contributions
- EI and CPP benefits
- Tuition receipts (T2202)
- Business or rental income (pre-filled where applicable) .
This ensures faster, error-free tax filing services, whether you’re an individual or a small business owner.
Who Can Use AFR?
AFR is available to:
- Individuals filing personal taxes (T1)
- Sole proprietors or freelancers
