Tax form - notice of assessment

[3 Justin 3]

So I can't find my recent one, how do I get another copy? I can't find anything on google (maybe I'm dumb?).

Thanks

The government won't put your tax assessments on Google.

Start here:

The CRA has (imo) the Government's most useful and solid website.

Is this what you were looking for?

Speaking of notice of assessments. Has anyone gotten reassessed, but the changes to the taxable income were only a penny or two changed either way so I still end up not having to pay anything or get refunded anything.

This has happened to me for the last three years and every time I get reassessments for my last 5 years of taxes and I end up getting no changes in my assessed taxes. Seems like a colossal waste of manpower and resources to me cuz they send me paper reassessments every time. Did I manage to trip off some kind of computer rounding glitch?

I know CP has some bad jokes, but wow.

Anyway, I signed up with CRA and just have to wait for a security code in the mail before I can actually access My Account.

Sign up for an online account. You can access returns years back as well.

if you need an ACTUAL notice of assessment you have to call 18009598281 and ask for one and it will take 16-20 weeks to get it. If all you need is a certified document for income verification etc. you can get an Option C printout from the number or off My Account.

Are you in a high risk group for audits? The CRA usually has 3 years since your latest assessment or reassessment to audit your tax return. Is it possible they're just reassessing you for no reason to keep the clock going?

What qualifies as a high risk group for audits? I've never gotten audited in my life and done all my taxes months before due date online... As far as I can tell, I did everything correctly. Had an accountant family member check my numbers the first year I did them so I don't think I did anything wrong?

But this year, same as last. A penny off the provincial number and a penny onto the federal, vice versa. Or some other small penny value change along those lines that varies between the different reassessment years I'm sent back.

People who have the ability to more easily cheat on their taxes. For example, self employed tradesman (who might be giving a cash discount), waiters/servers/bartenders/hairdresser (who might not feel like paying tax on their tips), people with cash businesses, etc.

Basically, if you have a regular job that you get paid by an employer, it's hard to cheat on your taxes since the money is deducted by your employer. Some of the other situations where cheating is easier, they're more likely to audit.

Not at a high risk group at all then by that definition. Professional job with regular paychecks with taxes taken right off my pay as you suggested.

Come on. That was gold.

If the CRA can't get it to you, then try the IRA. I hear they're pretty good at getting things done.
