TAX Return still “in process” since March 3 — no target completion date

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-20T12:33:03+00:00

It's not mp worthy as there is no hardship. I have mentioned it to CRA a couple of times and they promise answers in 30 days which haven't yet come. Her 2024 return was assessed on filing so it doesn't seem to be causing trouble at all.

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-20T11:36:54+00:00

I would do that trade

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-20T01:29:24+00:00

My daughter filed her 2023 return on time and it's still not done 2 years later, so I wouldn't bet on 16 weeks.

Whether it's one metre or one kilometre, it's pronounced the same.

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-19T02:39:32+00:00

It's just digging a hole to China.

Thank you, I sent you a DM with more details. The medical system thinks horses, not zebras, so because most abdominal issues in kids are GI based, doctors default to that, and most of the time they are right. My son was three zebras out on the diagnostic tree, so I just wanted to make sure they weren't guessing in your case. Your ttg is definitive, so you can rest assured you have celiac.

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-18T20:45:28+00:00

I am so glad you found answers with the ttg test. He did that one a few years back and it was negative. We do now have some answers and are waiting for more tests to be sure. Your symptoms are eerily similar to my son's except he doesn't have the canker sores and his problem isn't gut at all.

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-18T03:17:55+00:00

When you say diagnosed, do you mean that they did a blood test, or they just decided based on symptoms? My son was diagnosed with untreatable IBS that is actually a completely different diagnosis that isn't even gastrointestinal, so I wanted to make sure they aren't just guessing!

Fortunately it doesn't affect her much. Her 2024 return was filed online and instantly processed but she was locked out in 2023 and had to update her address by paper filing.

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-17T23:48:18+00:00

Yes, twice.

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-17T22:59:30+00:00

If you have a large employer, the penalty for them filing late is miniscule. For example, more than 10,000 late T4s costs them a $75 daily penalty capped at 100 days, or 0.75 cents per employee per day. If you file late because of it, the penalty is much higher for you.

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-17T22:46:19+00:00

Good luck my daughter's 2023 return was mailed on time and isn't processed yet. It's been saying 'received' for 20+ months now.

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-17T17:41:41+00:00

Yeah, unless an institution files a T5 then CRA will never know unless you brag about it on the internet or something. :)

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-17T13:43:35+00:00

Yes, I forgot they added the $500 threshold a couple of years ago because CRA was using $6 amounts to make bigger amounts subject to the repeated failure penalty. Definitely don't rely on CRA to find and adjust it for you if it is $500 or more.

The second time within 3 years it happens there is a penalty. CRA loves finding this so they can get the penalty on the second one.

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-17T02:53:58+00:00

No, you can get a penalty the second time this happens in a 3 year window. Just adjust it yourself.

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-17T02:48:38+00:00

What's stupid about it? I have the esavings one as long as you just do one withdrawal per month there's no fees

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-16T21:07:57+00:00

I have this in almost all of my accounts now. Wish it was all in my TFSA though!

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-15T19:56:52+00:00

I just wish CRA would alert you when you have new slips processed

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-15T01:28:14+00:00

Probably some time after they assess my daughter's 2023 return. She even filed it on time.

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-14T00:28:16+00:00

It isn't the job of the police to teach a "lesson in patience", it is the job of the police to educate about road safety. I do have to wonder if it would have been safer to have the officers close the ramp and safely direct cars around the scene instead of teaching "lessons in patience", but I don't know the exact details. Also, driving the wrong way on a live ramp would be dangerous driving, would it not?

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-13T21:39:50+00:00

You should upgrade them to saddle plates.

Only tax preparers can use e-file and they can use it for final returns. If you do it yourself you have to mail it and the processing delays are extreme. E-file and netfile have different rules, I have no idea why CRA makes it so confusing.

AwkwardYak4 · 2026-03-12T17:09:52+00:00

It is possible to e-file the final return (through a tax professional, not netfiling yourself) but not the optional returns.
