Life events can have an impact on your taxes

Having a baby

If you have a new baby or have a baby on the way, there are plenty of credits and benefits you may be entitled to receive. Applying is easy:

• Automated benefits Application – Save time and paperwork! When registering the birth of your newborn, you can also consent to use the Automated Benefits Application (ABA), which allows you to automatically apply for child tax benefits at the same time. If you give your consent on the provincial/territorial birth registration form, do not reapply for your child’s benefits using the CRA online service or Form RC66, Canada Child Benefits Application.
• My Account– You can also apply to receive your Canada child and family benefits by using the Apply for child benefits service or by downloading and mailing Form RC66, Cnada Child Benefits Application to your tax centre
