Tax requirement for citizenship application

[gen_z]

Hello, Im just filling out the citizenship application online, I have filed 3 years of taxes within the past 5 years, but I have not filed it for 2024 yet (and its not the deadline yet, although very close).

When I fill out the question, am I required to file taxes for 2024, i guess I should reply yes?

Is there any issues with applying while i havent filed taxes for the past year?

Many thanks

There is no issue if you have not filed taxes for 2024.
But to the question required to file taxes say Yes and Have filled taxes say No (pertaining to 2024 tax filing)

To determine if you were required, under the Income Tax Act, to file income taxes, please refer to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) information on Newcomers to Canada (immigrants).

1. If you have one, provide the 9-digit number for your
   • social insurance number (SIN)
   • temporary tax number (TTN), and/or
   • individual tax number (ITN)
2. In the chart, tell us about your income tax filing for the last 5 years.
   • Under the Required to file column
     • check “Yes” if you needed to file a tax return that year
     • check “No” if you didn’t need to file a tax return that year
   • Under the Taxes filedcolumn
     • check “Yes” if you filed a tax return that year
     • check “No” if you didn’t file a tax return that year

Note: The tax years are auto generated once you enter your eligibility period in question 9. Additionally, you need to complete this chart in full even if you didn’t live in Canada for part of your 5 year eligibility period.

1. Check “Yes” to authorize the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to provide details of your tax filing information (including income, benefit and residence information) to IRCC.
   
   By checking “Yes” you’re also authorizing us to collect your tax filing information from the CRA to help
   
   • determine if you meet the income tax and physical presence requirements for citizenship
   • examine your tax information in activities to support quality assurance and integrity in the citizenship program
2. 
   Subsection 8(1) of the Privacy Act and paragraph 241(5)(b) of the Income Tax Act allows the CRA to provide personal information to IRCC, with the consent of the relevant individuals. This consent is required under paragraph 2(1)(e) of the Citizenship Regulations, No. 2.
