I think CRA (and every other organisation, government or private)
is understaffed these days. That could explain a lot of these "mistakes."
When do they "assess" a person? Both mine and my wife's were
assessed a week after we filed, and we got out measly refunds (less
than $100) already. However, I recall thinking this is just a computer
program doing a check for obvious errors. A few times I got a
"reassessment" in the fall either agreeing with the first one or making
some sort of adjustment. I guessed, rightly or wrongly, that the fall
one was done by a human. This not to be confused with a full
audit, the very mention of causes one's sphincter muscle to tighten up!
:-)
One time about 12-15 years ago I got one of the fast ones back that
said I owed them about $10K. I shit my pants, and then called them -
this when there was a person to talk to - and it turned out I'd put
something on the wrong line of the form. Phew!
