(NC)—Seniors who may be worried about whether online tax filing is secure can rest assured. NETFILE, the Canada Revenue Agency's (CRA) online tax filing system, has taken steps to provide several layers of protection that make the process safe and secure.
For example, before you can even begin to file your income tax online, you have to enter your personal four-digit access code. You can find it on the information sheet of your T1 personal income tax return package. Your access code, along with your social insurance number (SIN) and date of birth, become your electronic signature. Remember, though, Internet security is a two-way street. Keep your access code a secret, always close your computer after working on your return, and never send your access code or your SIN by email to anyone.
The CRA ensures that your personal and financial information is transmitted in an encrypted format between your computer and its Web servers. This ensures that computer hackers and other Internet users cannot alter or view data being transmitted. The CRA uses sophisticated security techniques to protect its Web site. State-of-the-art encryption technology and security procedures protect your personal information at all times.
NETFILE could be the way to go for seniors who want to save time and money, and get their refunds faster. You can find all the information you need at www.netfile.gc.ca.
