I'm definitely going to do what's necessary to clear this up. I'd like to explain it to the CRA agent directly but I'm worried that I'll say something stupid, hence my question on whether I need an expert to speak on my behalf. anyone have any advice on discussing desk audit questions with the CRA auditor directly? thanks (apologies for the detour from QuickTax) Thanks DAvid for your reply to my audit query.

Even if it really did not have any effect on my needed provisioning, I could understand the plight of many others who were affected by the downsizing and needed to resort to other means. With that being said, I appreciate that this year they have increased their support for other tax filing variants. Hopefully, their support would be consistently increasing and never be decreased anymore to avoid any other disgruntled customers from pulling it down in terms of evaluation.

Your FA will be busy explaining to CRA the reasons they had for completing a tax return based on incomplete documentation. You should be planning how you will finance the repayment, reflecting on how you got yourself in your current situation, and determining the steps to ensure you are not in a similar situation in the future. Though polite, the CRA guys have little sense of Ha-ha. DAvid frances,

I'm being audited for employment expenses. I'm VERY clueless about tax so I don't do my own taxes - my FA does. I have some support for my expenses but not to the extent they are asking. I don't know where to go for advice as my FA seems to want to cover their own butt on this.... I'm wondering if the folks who have been audited have sought legal counsel or other?? I'm not currently employed so cost is a concern thanks very naive.... Hi – I found this thread on a search for “tax audit advice”. I’m being audited for employment expenses.

This year it is even cheaper and more options. Customer support was great for last year, they even got back to me by email in an hour or two when I had a problem. If you feel that you need audit insurance and are willing to pay the price then go for it but read the fine print.
