Here is a note from CRA about December 31, 2023, fiscal year-end charities and the filings for T3010. It highlights that there are different forms required depending on whether your fiscal year end is December 31 compared to an earlier date. It also reminds charities of the importance of using the CRA MyBA system.
Charities and giving – What’s new
Use MyBA to file your return by June 30!
If your charity’s fiscal year ended on December 31, the deadline to file your T3010 annual information return is June 30. The best way to complete your information return is online using My Business Account (MyBA) or Represent a Client.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you are using the correct version of Form T3010
In January 2024, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) released version 24 of Form T3010, Registered Charity Information Return to reflect new reporting requirements.
- If your charity has a fiscal period ending on or after December 31, 2023, you must file your T3010 using version 24.
If you must fill out your Form T3010 on paper, always go to our website and download the latest version of the form.
We strongly recommend using MyBA to ensure that you are automatically presented with the correct version, depending on the end of your fiscal period.
MyBA is fast, easy to use, secure and convenient!
My Business Account is a secure online portal that provides an opportunity to interact electronically with the CRA. For step-by-step instructions on registering for MyBA, please visit Access our online services for charities. After registering, simply log in with your CRA user ID and password. The required forms, sections, and schedules are identified for you.
The document verification service is now available
The CRA has introduced a new identity validation option, known as the document verification service. With the new identity validation option, users are able to get immediate access to their account without having to wait for their code in the mail, which can take up to 10 business days. Using a government-issued photo identification (ID), such as a passport or driver’s licence, a user can quickly validate their identity to get immediate access to their online CRA account.
