Employer Services Division of International Tax Office?

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone on this forum has any idea what this office actually does. My wife's amended T4 has been held up with them for ~6 months, and we've never been able to find out why (no one on the phone can tell us, we've received no official correspondence, and there is no information online that I can find that tells me what the Employer Services Division is, where it is located, how I can contact it, etc.). Very frustrating, since the tax return they're holding up is from 2010.

Anyway, if anyone knows what the job description of someone who works for this office is, I'd love to know, just so I have some idea of what's going on with our taxes.

Thanks!

Sorry, "this office" being the Employer Services Division of the International Tax Office.

What kind of return did she submit, and what special activity was on it.

Amending a return around tax time will be slow, and international is always three months late.

She'd amended her original Canadian return -- the original return indicated that she'd lived in Ontario the whole year, and so she was taxed for hte year as if she were a full-time Canadian resident (i.e. paying full Canadian taxes for the whole year). But ,she'd lived in the States for part of that year, and paid taxes in the US for that time, so she was effectively double-taxed for about 8 months of the year. The amendment was filed to request a refund of the portion of the income that shouldn't have been taxed by revenue canada.

Expect to wait.

First off, your line is incorrect that states: "The amendment was filed to request a refund of the portion of the income that shouldn't have been taxed by revenue canada.".

That doesn't make sense. If she left Canada, she would change the return to a departure return. If she did not become non-residwent, then she still reports the income, BUT CLAIMS foreign tax credit for the US tax.

At least they haven't rejected it, yet.
