We are filing for my 16 y/o son for the first time, he doesn't have an online CRA account yet.  We have completed everything but when we go to net file, it rejects it saying either it isn't his first time filing (it is) or we haven't selected that it is his first time filing in the software (we did).  Not sure what else could be kicking that rejection.  Was hoping someone might be able to help.

I'm have the exact same scenario. Looks like we may need to mail in the return.

@rdrury5770  If you are filing for the first time, you might have to Print & Mail your return to CRA. CRA will not accept an electronic filling if they do not have anything for you on their record.
