Deadlines for Your 2026 Tax Return
Federal deadlines that apply in Alberta. If a date falls on a weekend or public holiday, the CRA generally treats a filing or payment as on time if it is made the next business day.
| When | What is due |
|---|---|
| December 31, 2026 | Last day for charitable donations, FHSA contributions and most other payments to count for 2026. |
| End of February 2027 | Employers and payers issue T4, T4A and T5 slips. |
| March 1, 2027 | Last day to make RRSP contributions you want to deduct on your 2026 return. |
| April 30, 2027 | Filing deadline for most people, and the payment deadline for everyone — including the self-employed. |
| June 15, 2027 | Filing deadline if you or your spouse or common-law partner carried on a business in 2026. Interest on any balance still runs from April 30. |
For 2026, the lowest federal tax rate is 14% and Alberta’s lowest rate is 8% on the first $61,200 of taxable income. Dates and rates are confirmed against CRA and Government of Alberta guidance and are updated each tax season.

Personal Tax Questions
For most people the 2026 return must be filed and any balance paid by April 30, 2027. If you or your spouse or common-law partner were self-employed, the filing deadline is June 15, 2027 — but any balance owing is still due April 30, 2027, and interest starts after that date.
If you owe tax, the CRA generally charges a late-filing penalty of 5% of the balance owing plus 1% for each full month the return is late (up to 12 months), on top of interest. Filing late can also delay benefit and credit payments such as the GST/HST credit and Canada Child Benefit, so it is worth filing on time even if you cannot pay in full.
Fees depend on the complexity of your return — for example, whether it includes self-employment, rental income or property sales. After a free initial consultation we give you a written quote before any work starts.
