Canadian Taxes Refund Timeline

[Carlawarla 1]

Just updating this thread. I've been waiting a little over 3 months, and I've heard nothing. Using my e-pass, all it says about my return is that it is "received". No date at all.

So apparently the program I used calculated me as a non-resident return, when I was consider a resident for part of last year. I have to file a T-1 Adjustment and hopefully see some of my money back!! Yipee!! more paperwork.. booo...

Uh oh. I had forgotten about this. 2 weeks ago I got an RFE () from Canada Revenue. The morons wanted a copy of Bren's T2202 since I am claiming his education amounts. Geezuzfukinkrist. Can't they see it is in HIS return which was sent in the same package as mine and for which he got a notice of assessment saying his return was A-O-K???????????? :angry: I sent the damn thing later that same week, and haven't heard from them since. NOT pleased.

Still no updates on the website. It's as if I haven't appealed at all. It's been over 2 weeks now. I'm phoning them up tomorrow.

I sent in my taxes a day late and got them back a few days ago.

Just thought that I'd update ... sent them the taxes on May 14th ... just showing up today that it was received.

Hey Carlawarla ... have you heard anything yet? ... Does anyone have anything new to add ... I'm still waiting

A suggestion - you could contact your former MPs office and ask if they can help. I processed requests like that when I worked for the MP and also did it myself when CRC did not process the return correctly and I had to have them redo it (hehehe, I was right, too!). My MPs office faxed me a consent form, I faxed it back and they opened an enquiry with the International Tax Office. Success. Some MPs, however, are not as accommodating for former residents - but you can remind them you still have voting friends and/or family who live in their riding:-).

No lynamon, I've not heard a thing. I check online about twice a week, and it says nothing other than my return has been recieved. Not even a DATE that it was received! It's been about 14 weeks now.

Got my refund dated June 9 with an interest part that I have to now file a 2008 tax return for!!! GRRRRRR they could have kept their dollar!

Sent my T1 Adjustment about a month ago, and haven't had any updates via my epass. Think I'm going to have to give them a call tomorrow.

1) I filed an appeal through the E-pass website. Asking for the full basic personal exemptions.

2) Then I phoned and got told to file a T1-adjustment.

3) Filed T1-adjustment by snail mail.

4) Mere days after filing the T-1 adjustment I received a reply from the E-pass appeal saying that my appeal would be looked at and processed sometime over the next 6 MONTHS.

Come ooooon, it can't take that long.

I called today ... they told me that it's being processed .. which I already knew ... but couldn't tell me how much longer although she did say "shouldn't be much longer now" and they couldn't give me a date of receipt ... I hate dealing with governments!

Oh great...I got my greencard faster than that!

The stupid (and kind of funny, have to laugh about it) thing is, even though 'I' (read: my dad) made a mistake in saying all of my earnings were taxable (US income included), they didn't fix that. No, they changed everything else, and didn't even notice that I had filed under Section 217.

I made sure to Highlight the Section 217 and the Double Taxation thing multiple times in the adjustment.

And it was very hard to not say..."No, I don't owe you anything, in fact, you owe ME $1100. Gimme my money!"
