How will I know if Revenue Canada chooses my return for preassessment review?
If Revenue Canada chooses your return for review, Revenue Canada will advise the electronic filer that the assessment may be delayed. Revenue Canada may or may not ask the electronic filer to send Revenue Canada supporting documentation. Because EFILE is paperless, how do you protect the EFILE system against abuse? In Canada, the income tax system operates on the basis of self-assessment for both paper and electronically filed returns. Potential electronic filers are screened before Revenue Canada gives them EFILE privileges. Also, Revenue Canada monitors their performance during the filing season. Electronic filers have to review receipts and all supporting documents when they prepare returns. Taxfilers have to keep all supporting documentation in case Revenue Canada asks to see it.
