The CRA dispute process offers a structured approach for resolving discrepancies between what you reported on your tax return and what the CRA has on file. It starts with submitting a formal dispute through the CRA’s online portal or by mail. The CRA will review your dispute and may request additional information or documentation to support your claim. After evaluating all evidence, the CRA will communicate its decision to either adjust your tax return or maintain its original assessment. If you disagree with the outcome, you have the option to escalate the dispute to the Appeals Division for further review and resolution.
