How to Access Your RBC Tax Documents Online
If you're looking for a tax slip or need a replacement copy, you can sign up for e-delivery of your tax documents issued by RBC. These are the same tax documents you’d receive in the mail, but you can instantly view and download them (or print, if you need to).
How to Switch to e-Delivery
- Click on the Profile icon at the top right of your page
- Go to View & Manage Documents
- Select the “Manage document delivery preferences” link.
- You can switch to paperless by clicking the “Change all documents to electronic” link.
Once you switch, you’ll have access to a PDF archive of your tax documents, beginning with the 2018 tax season, and new ones as they become available.
We’ll let you know when a new tax document is available in your secure Message Centre, or by email if you have chosen to receive eDocuments emails. To check your email preferences, choose View Profile & Account Settings under the Profile icon and look for Email Address and Preferences.
Online Contributions
Remember – you can make online contributions to your RBC Direct Investing RRSP, TFSA and RESP any time from the Transfer Cash page. Note that there are other easy ways to fund your account.
