Filing an election

Tax Topics

I have to file an election 45(2) with a T1 tax return.
I’m efiling the T1.
I have read the election must be mailed.

I’m using the following link to find the correct tax centre.
https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/corporate/contact-information/tax-services-offices-tax-centres.html

Is this how others are finding the correct tax centre to mail documents to?

Yes. They’ve updated it recently, as it used to just be a list of the tax offices and what areas they served.

Thank you.

I clicked:
A mailing address > Province > City > Personal income tax (T1)

The page asks What type of documents or correspondence do you want to send? after I select the city.

For the election should I be using the mailing address for Personal income tax (T1) or Other - I did notice they are different addresses.

I believe I recently used the T1 address to paper file an election in support of an Efiled return (with that elections box ticked on the WS!) - I also marked the envelope Attn: Individual Taxpayer Services…
The return came back coded for pre-assessment review, but it was just assessed (very quickly) without any communication from CRA so I assume they managed to match them up alright.
