filing your marital status incorrectly causes your non refundable tax credits to be calculated wrong usually resulting in one or both the parties in the relationship getting an unwarranted refund, thus getting charged the back tax bill + interest. As well if there is a child involved your CCTB/GSTC will be calculated wrong and there will be a bill caused for this in most cases as well.
