Understanding Your Notice of Assessment (NOA)
After filing your tax return, you will receive a Notice of Assessment (NOA) from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). This document summarizes the CRA's assessment of your tax return and outlines any amounts owing or refunds you will receive. Understanding your NOA is crucial, so here's a breakdown of its key components:
-
Basic Information: This section confirms your personal details, including your name, social insurance number (SIN), and filing year.
-
Tax Assessment Summary: This section details your total income reported, deductions and credits claimed, and your net income or loss. It also shows any taxes owing or refundable based on your net income and tax brackets.
-
Reassessment: This section indicates if the CRA has made any adjustments to your return. If there are any discrepancies, they will be outlined here.
-
Payment Information: This section details any taxes owing, including the due date and payment options. It also shows any refunds you will receive and the payment method (direct deposit or cheque).
-
Reviewing Your NOA: Carefully review your NOA to ensure all information is accurate. If you have any questions or discrepancies, contact the CRA or consult with your tax professional at Schmidt Berg.
-
Keeping Your NOA Safe: It's essential to keep your NOA for your tax records for at least six years. This document serves as proof of your tax filing for that particular year and may be required for various purposes, such as applying for government benefits or claiming student loans.
