How do I sign up for direct deposit to receive my refunds and payments from Revenu Québec?

✓ Verified answer Written from official pages, with checked citations and a verification date.

General information, not tax advice. To receive your Revenu Québec refunds and payments by direct deposit, you must have an account at a financial institution with a place of business in Canada. The easiest way is to register in My Account for citizens (Mon dossier pour les citoyens); you can also use your financial institution's online service, fill out form LM-3, or register when you file your income tax return. For federal payments, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has its own process, explained below. The Revenu Québec page does not give a processing time.

Your procedure, step by step

Start the official procedure Official page: Direct deposit (Revenu Québec) (opens in a new tab)https://www.revenuquebec.ca/fr/citoyens/votre-situation/depot-direct/

Check that you have an account at a financial institution with a place of business in Canada: this is the basic condition to register for Revenu Québec direct deposit.
For Revenu Québec, sign in to My Account for citizens (Mon dossier pour les citoyens), then click on your first and last name or on the user menu icon to reach the direct deposit information. This is also where you can change your banking information.
If you do not use My Account, you can use the online registration service of your financial institution (if it offers one), fill out the form Demande d'inscription au dépôt direct (LM-3), or register when you file your income tax return.
For child support, if you do not use My Account, fill out the form Demande relative au dépôt direct de la pension alimentaire (PPZ-109) instead.
If you change account or financial institution, do not close the old account until a next payment has been deposited in the new one, to avoid an interruption. Your registration stays valid until you ask to cancel it, in writing or by telephone.
For CRA (federal) payments, sign in to your CRA account, choose your Individual account to reach My Account, then go to Profile, in the Direct deposit section. You can also go through your Canadian bank or credit union; the CRA page asks that you have already filed an income tax return before registering.
If you cannot use the CRA online methods, you can mail the Canada direct deposit enrolment form, but the processing time is estimated at 3 months or more. It is no longer possible to register with the CRA by telephone.
