Tax Tip: Canada Child Tax Benefit: How to Change a Direct Deposit

Overview

The Canada Revenue Agency offers three ways to change your direct deposit banking information, including direct deposits set up for your Canada child tax benefit.

1. You can call CRA directly at 1-800-959-8281.
2. You also can include your new banking information on page 4 of your tax return.
3. The third option is to change it online by going to CRA’s My Account for Individuals page. If you don’t have a CRA online account, click the “CRA Register” button to create one. Otherwise, log in with your CRA user ID and password.
