Tax Return Adjustments & Corrections
Fix Errors & Amend Your Past Tax Returns to Avoid CRA Issues
Mistakes on tax returns are common, whether it’s missing income, unclaimed deductions, or incorrect tax credits. If you’ve filed your taxes and later realized there was an error, it’s important to correct it before CRA contacts you. Amending your tax return can help you avoid penalties, claim additional refunds, and ensure your tax filings remain accurate and compliant.
At Westview Accounting & Tax Services Inc., we specialize in correcting past tax filings for individuals in North Vancouver, BC, ensuring that any missed deductions, incorrect reporting, or unfiled tax credits are properly updated with CRA.
When Should You Adjust a Tax Return?
Forgot to Report Income (T4, T4A, T5, T3, etc.)
If you missed reporting employment income, dividends, or investment earnings, CRA may flag your return and charge penalties.
Missed a Tax Credit or Deduction
If you forgot to claim medical expenses, tuition credits, RRSP contributions, or other deductions, you may be eligible for a higher refund.
Incorrect Tax Slips (Employer or Financial Institution Errors)
If your T4, T5, or T4A slip was incorrect or revised, you must update your tax return to reflect the accurate amount.
Overpaid Taxes & Need a Refund Adjustment
If you overreported income or underclaimed deductions, you may be entitled to a refund adjustment.
Claiming Unused Tax Credits or Carryforward Balances
Some credits, such as tuition, capital losses, or RRSP contributions, can be carried forward. If they weren’t applied correctly, a tax adjustment may be needed.
Incorrect Marital Status or Dependent Claims
If you incorrectly claimed dependents, spouse credits, or missed family tax benefits, CRA may require a correction.
Changes Due to Reassessments or CRA Requests
If CRA has sent you a Notice of Reassessment, you may need to dispute the adjustment or file additional corrections.
TIP: The sooner errors are corrected, the better. If CRA finds an error first, they may reassess your taxes and apply penalties.
