Generally, your return for 2008 has to be filed on or before April 30, 2009.
Note
If you file your return after April 30, 2009, your GST/HST
credit, Canada Child Tax Benefit (including those payments from certain
related provincial or territorial programs), and Old Age Security
benefit payments may be delayed.
Self-employed persons
If you or your spouse or common-law partner carried on a business in
2008 (other than a business whose expenditures are primarily in
connection with a tax shelter), your return for 2008 has to be filed on or before June 15, 2009. However, if you have a balance owing for 2008, you still have to pay it on or before April 30, 2009. For details of how to make your payment, see line 485.
Deceased persons
If you are the legal representative (the executor, administrator, or
liquidator) of the estate of an individual who died in 2008, you may
have to file a return for 2008 for that individual. See Guide T4011, Preparing Returns for Deceased Persons, and Information Sheet RC4111, What to do following a death,
for details about your filing requirements and options and to know what
documents are required. The due date for the final return will depend
on the date of death and whether or not the deceased or his or her
spouse or common-law partner carried on a business in 2008.

Note
If you received income in 2008 for a person who died in 2007
or earlier, do not file an individual return for 2008 for that income
on behalf of that person. However, you may have to file a T3 Trust Income Tax and Information Return for the estate.
