The Canada Revenue Agency’s Auto-Fill My Return (AFR) feature is a quick and easy way to download many of your slips right into H&R Block’s tax software.
When completing your return, you’ll be prompted to click the Sign in to My Account button, which will open a separate window containing the CRA’s My Account login page. If you don’t see this window, it’s possible your browser settings or a previously installed ad blocker might be preventing it from opening. You can adjust your browser settings by following these steps:
Google Chrome
- Open Google Chrome.
- In the top right corner of your screen, click the
or
icon.
- Select Settings, then click Advanced.
- Under Privacy and security, click Content settings.
- Under Popups, click ADD next to Allow.
- Enter the following URL to allow the popup window to open: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/esrvc-srvce/tx/ndvdls/myccnt/menu-eng.html.
Mozilla Firefox
- Open Mozilla Firefox.
- In the top right corner of your screen, click the icon with the three horizontal lines (
).
- Select Options, and then select Content.
- Under Pop-ups, unselect Block pop-up windows, or choose to click Exceptions and choose which sites will be allowed pop-ups.
Mozilla Quantum Firefox
- Open Mozilla Firefox.
- In the top right corner of your screen, click the icon with the three horizontal lines (
).
- Select Options, and then select Privacy & Security.
- Under Permissions, unselect Block pop-up windows, or choose to click Exceptions and choose which sites will be allowed pop-ups.
Internet Explorer
- Open Internet Explorer.
- Select the Tools button, and then select Internet Options.
- On the Privacy tab, under the Pop-up Blocker, unselect the Turn on pop-up blocker checkbox.
If this doesn’t resolve the issue, you might have to disable the ad blockers that you’ve installed.
Note: If this is your first year filing a tax return, you won’t be able to use AFR or other services available through the CRA My Account; this is because the CRA requires that you file one tax return before you can register.
