Audit Defence Frequently Asked Questions

 

How long have you been in business?

We have been providing Tax Audit Defence and membership services since 1988.

What happens when I receive a notice of review or audit notice?

As soon as you receive a notice, call the phone number provided on your Canada TaxResources contract. DO NOT call the CRA. You must use Canada TaxResources as YOUR FIRST contact with the CRA or Province. When you have provided the notice and the tax return to our Audit Coordinator, the appropriate qualified representative will be assigned to you.

Does Audit Defence include my Provincial tax return?

Yes, your Provincial tax return is included in your membership except Quebec.

Will you be offering this every year?

Yes, Canada TaxResources plans to continue this program.

Are pre–assessment reviews included in Audit Defence?

What is your cancellation policy?

You may cancel your Audit Defence membership plan for any reason within 60 days of purchase.

Are field audits included in Audit Defence?

Audit Defence includes field audits through the restricted examination of books, but does not include detailed financial audits.

Is Tax Audit Defence at the special price of $39.99 for QuickTax customers too good to be true?

We agree that it may seem too good to be true, but it is not. We have been successfully defending taxpayers since 1988.

Is my Self–employed income included?

Yes, all income reported on your individual tax return is included in your membership.

I also file a separate business return. Is it included?

Sorry, Audit Defence is only available for Individual tax returns. Audit Defence is not available for QuickTax Business Incorporated or residents of the Province of Quebec.

How long will the QuickTax Membership Plan defend my return?

An Audit Defence Membership will defend your individual tax return for as long as it can be audited.

Is Audit Defence available to residents of Quebec?

Sorry, Audit Defence is not available for residents of the Province of Quebec at this time

Can I purchase the QuickTax Audit Defence Membership for prior years?

Not at this time.

What happens if I do not file my tax return on time?

QuickTax Audit Defence accepts only timely filed tax returns. A timely filed tax return is one that was filed by the due date of the return. For tax year 2008 your individual tax return would be timely filed if you met the April 30, 2009 due date. If you, your spouse or common–law partner carried on a business in 2008, your return for 2008 must be filed on or before June 15, 2009. However, if you have a balance owing for 2008, you must pay it on or before April 30, 2009. Canada TaxResources will defend late filed returns for an additional Late Filing Fee. Late Filing Fee is available through Canada TaxResources Customer Service.

Is my amended return eligible for membership?

If the original tax return was filed timely, amended returns are also included in that membership.

If you have additional questions, please contact our Canada TaxResources Customer Service Department.
