IF you apply right now, you list the following years:
- 2017
- 2016
- 2015
- 2014
- 2013
This is about the taxation year. So the year FOR WHICH you filed taxes, not the year when you SUBMITTED the file. For further clarification: In your example the tax return FOR 2012 that you filed IN 2013 is irrelevant for this question.
Most likely, you will have to choose "Did not file" for the 2017 taxation year (since I assume you haven't filed 2017 taxes yet). That is OK and no problem, even if you were required to file.

"Also, applicants who submit their application early in the calendar year would not have been required to file taxes yet for the previous calendar year."
Another Quote:
"
Example for applications received on or after October 11, 2017
An applicant applies on June 1, 2020. The taxation years that fall fully or partially within the five years immediately before the date of application are 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2015. 2020 cannot be used, as the applicant has not yet filed taxes for 2020.
The applicant may have filed income taxes in any three of these years: 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, or 2015.

Thanks for your response so If I will write from :

2015 and marked check in both require to file and taxes filed
2014 and marked check in both require to file and taxes filed
2013 and marked check in both require to file and taxes filed
2012 and marked check in both require to file and taxes filed
Is this correct?
Hi I did the same thing! I’m about to send it tomorrow ! I won’t wait until I file tax 2017. Hopefully this is right !
I called the cic customer service line before I sent in my application on Jan 15. I was told this is correct and I dont need to mention 2017 as I couldnt even file for tax at that time.
oh thank you for the clarification! I’m sending mine tomorrow !!! Fingers crossed so excited! I hope I did everything right and have all the paperwork that I need to send them. All my paperwork are photocopy none of them are original I hope it’s okay !
