CRA Audit: Foreign Tax Credits

There is a very high probability that you will be audited for any foreign tax credits claimed on your Canadian tax return. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires specific documentation to support the claim.

How to Prepare for a CRA Audit After Filing a U.S. Tax Return

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) does not provide notice of assessments. To prepare for a potential CRA audit, it’s critical that you order your federal Record of Account transcript (not tax transcripts) once your U.S. returns have been processed.

Here are Your Next Steps:

Check your U.S. refund status online at irs.gov/refunds
Order your federal Record of Account transcript online at irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript. You can also call the U.S. state you filed in and request your Record of Account.
Forward your Record of Account to us so we can add it to your files.

Asif was very informative for us as Canadians for our US and Canadian taxes when we sold our US property. He explained clearly what we needed and was done with everything very promptly. We would definitely use his services again! Thank you Asif!

Lots of knowledge with US tax regulations helped me a lot. And quick service.

Asif and Co. handled our US capital gains taxes promptly and professionally. Filing IRS and AZ tax forms was a daunting task for us, however we found they handled with ease. Quickly responsive to our questions was much appreciated. Thank you, from Ontario.
