Amendment of 216 return after assessment

Post by NewCanadian »

My 216 return was quickly assessed by CRA and I could see my assessment on line. After checking I realized that it requires correction so that my refund can increase.

Similar to T1, we have T1-adj, is there a equivalent of 216 adjustment form or I resend revised return?

As clearly stated in the 10-page instructions for a section 216 return, you would submit any amendments using a T1-adj, NEVER a resubmitted 216.

As with any T1-adj, you must submit all supporting documents for the line(s) in question, regrdless if they were required to be sent before or not.
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best

Nelsona- Thanks.

I submitted two returns. One as depature teturn for the period while I was resident of Canada and one 216 for rental income for period for which I was non resident .

My 216 is assessed but depature return is not yet. I have not even formally received 216 assessment but I printed from online CRA account.

Do I wait for depature return assessment or I can submit T1-adj for 216 amendment?
