This alphanumeric code can be found on your paper Notice of Assessment (NOA) top right corner under the “Notice Details” section ( see image below) or online in your “MyAccount” next to “Access Code”. This code is unique to each individual.
If you cannot locate your NAC on the paper copy of your NOA or online in your “My Account”, you can call the CRA, and answer a few authentication questions before they provide you with the information requested.
