The CRA informed us this morning that they are experiencing database issues causing the T1/T2 AFR service to be inaccessible at this time. In addition, the following services are also affected by the outage: • Express NOA • Account Information Retrieval Service, used to get account balance information • FRRMS Submit e-Documents (T1134, T106 efile) As soon as we get updates from the CRA, we will let you know. Thanks for your patience! Steven ---
