Wrong province in my first tax return

[smalkawi]

Hi
So i went to tax accountant to file my first tax return for 2018 the year i came to canada and became PR, he had assumed that my current address in british columbia is the same address i had in 2018 when i was in Ontario.

I had 0 income so i didnt have to pay any taxes, but i am not sure if and how i should correct this with CRA ?

You can file an amended tax return. See link https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/news/newsroom/tax-tips/tax-tips-2015/need-make-a-change-your-return.html.

However, since you did not have any income, just don't worry about it.

I would still go and amend it. Some benefits are province specific. And the Federal Government uses the information given when the return is filed to notify the provincial government
