T1 reassess without credits

Client reassessed to add missing slips. Added dividend income and foreign income. Didn’t allow dividend tax credit or foreign tax credit. Is this the common routine?

Yep - they add the income. Period! Anything else is up to you! Aren’t they nice?

They will still “allow” it if the taxpayer files a T1-ADJ or REFILEs, etc.

I deal with this on a daily basis with CRA. Constantly fighting with them to correct their own work, their own math. If it wasn’t so scary and frustrating, it would be hilarious the level of incompetence in the CRA and how many YEARS it can take to fix their one math mistake.
