First on page 1 of T1, please check the box indicating this tax return is for a first time Filer under the tax payer's name field. (For EFile only, this box should also be checked when tax payer changed last name in the tax year).

NetFile first time is tricky. You need to match name, birthdate and S.I.N to CRA's record exactly, and choose this is first time filer during netfile. If there is a middle name, or its
short form (e.g. initial), please enter it as 2nd part of first name field on page 1 of T1. The names have to be exactly matched, call CRA helpdesk to match the records.

EFile may do same name check if filing failed message returns.
