What is a Notice of Assessment and how can I get a copy?

A Notice of Assessment (NOA) is a document provided by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) after processing your tax return. It outlines the results of your tax assessment, informing you about the amount of tax you owe or the refund you will receive. The NOA shows your total income, deductions, and credits claimed, ensuring that your tax return has been reviewed and verified by the CRA. To obtain a copy of your NOA, there are several options available. You can access it online by logging into your CRA My Account, where you can view, download, or print a copy instantly. Alternatively, you can request a paper copy by mail or by calling the CRA's general inquiries line. Make sure to provide your social insurance number and other required information when requesting a copy.
