Tax FAQs

What if I made a mistake on my questionnaire?

Please email [email protected] with your name, file number, and the correction.

How long will my return take?

We aim to file all returns by the CRA deadline if your completed questionnaire and all supporting documents are received before March 15. You can monitor the status of your return through your CRA account once it has been filed.

How will I know when my return has been filed?

You will receive an email confirmation from our tax team.

Will I receive my tax refund?

No. Tax refunds relating to the pre- and post-bankruptcy returns are retained by the Licensed Insolvency Trustee and distributed according to the terms of your bankruptcy.

What if there is an amount owing?

You are responsible only for any balance owing on the post-bankruptcy return. If applicable, details will be included in your filing confirmation email.

How do I get a copy of my return?

A copy will be uploaded to your Supportal (the Bromwich+Smith client portal) account. You may also access your tax information through your CRA account.

Will I receive a Notice of Assessment?

Yes. Your Notice of Assessment will be available through your CRA account.

I am mailing documents. Will they be returned?

Please send copies only. Original documents will not be returned.

Will Bromwich+Smith file my taxes next year?

No. We only file returns related to the calendar year of your bankruptcy.
