T3010 Registered Charity Information Return Update
On June 10, 2025, the Caanda Revenue Agency announced a new online option for filing a charity’s T3010, Registered Charity Information Return using CRA-certified software. Charities registered in Canada and their authorized representatives will no longer need to print, mail or fax their T3010 as they can use any software on the list of CAR-certified software to fill out their T3010 and upload it directly through their CRA business account.
The CRA lists the following 9 certified software products which can generate all the forms contained in a T3010:
- Cantax FormMaster by Wolters Kluwer Canada limited
- CCH iFirm Taxprep by Wolters Kluwer Canada limited
- DT Max T2 by Thomson Reuters DT Tax and Accounting Inc
- Fill T3010 Online by Canadian Centre for Christian Charities
- ProFile by Intuit
- QuickBooks Online Accountant Pro Tax by Intuit
- Taxcycle by Xero Software Limited
- Taxprep Forms by Wolters Kluwer Canada limited – For tax professionals
- VisualTax T3010 by Microsophic Inc
According to the CRA announcement, this new online filing option is secure and allows charities and their authorized representatives to avoid mail delays and the errors that sometime happen in paper copies.
Moreover, charities receive confirmation of filing immediately, the T3010s are processed instantly, and it is possible to view the public portion of the T3010 on the CRA’s list of charities webpage the next day. For more details, please visit the CRA’s News and events for charities webpage.
