Common CRA letters we handle

Our process

  1. Bring or send us the letter. We’ll review it and explain your options at no obligation.
  2. We get authorized. With your permission, we become your representative with the CRA so we can see your file and speak to them directly.
  3. We prepare the response. We organize your receipts and explanations into a clear package and submit it through CRA’s online system.
  4. We follow up until the matter is closed, and file a Notice of Objection if the CRA’s decision is wrong.

Don’t miss the deadline

Most CRA letters give you a deadline (often 30 days) to respond. If you disagree with an assessment, you generally have 90 days from the date on the notice to file an objection. Ignoring a letter usually means the CRA denies the claim and reassesses you, so contact us as soon as it arrives.

Frequently asked questions

Is a CRA letter an audit?

Not usually. Most letters are reviews asking you to send receipts or proof for a claim. Full audits are less common, but every letter should be answered by the deadline.

How long do I have to respond to a CRA letter?

The deadline is printed on the letter, often 30 days. If you need more time, we can contact the CRA to request an extension.

Can you talk to the CRA for me?

Yes. Once you authorize us as your representative, we can access your CRA information and deal with the CRA directly.

What if I disagree with the CRA's decision?

You can file a Notice of Objection, generally within 90 days of the date on your Notice of Assessment or Reassessment. We prepare and file objections for clients.
