oh I dail the wrong number. I will delete my post to avoid any confusing caused on my part. apologies!
I don't know what happened this year, but "T" slips are coming in late and CRA continues to have several people looking after one account and the one on the left doesn't have a clue about what the one on the right is doing.
If you have a question pack a lunch before you call.
If you get through right away it will be because you dialed the wrong department.

I started using an accountant many years ago to do my taxes and will continue after I retire . A , I’m not that smart. B, he is pretty sharp and the CRA wieners don’t like to take on actual tax accountants unless they see a big prize , and that’s not me

Same here. Started when I owned part of a business but now that I'm retired it's still nice to have someone who knows the ropes, especially with added income from the rental and the microFIT.
Weird thing is now with each bill he offers up some kind of audit protection (waives fees if he has to work with you thru an audit??) at some astronomical cost. It feels like the extended warranty scam. I'll pass.
Not as scammy as extended warranty. More like insurance. The house always wins. By offering that policy, your guy drives up his yearly income with minimal effort (hundreds of people paying, probably only one or two require work). On the flip side, if you pay for the policy, the year the CRA draws your number, instead of the guy taking all your profit, you get to keep it. Like all insurance, pay every year to try to avoid an extinction level event that may never happen.

How is that possible? I thought the deadline for all slips was end of February. (I know the T1198 we got for our retro pay wasn't included in that deadline, but all the rest, my impression was they are)
No. They don’t bother with the big fish. They’ve even said they don’t have the resources.
So they focus on the small guys.
Depends on the T#. Trust returns are due on Mar 31. The T5 may not get generated until close to that deadline.
What do you consider big fish?
I was almost sure that my wife and I got refunds separately. It's been many years since I got a refund though so I could be wrong.

Good to know, thanks. She normally gets carbon tax and child benefit. I never really knew or cared how it was decided which account got the money. I don't expect carbon tax rebates anymore. Either pp wins and the whole scam is dead or ctc wins and tax goes to the moon with no rebates.
