  2. Doing my taxes today and here's a warning to other Canadians doing their taxes. The CRA autofill did not fill in my wife's T5 they knew about, and had no record of and thus didn't fill in, any of her 3 T4RIFs! I was wondering why we didn't owe much tax this year. Does that mean that the bank didn't forward them to CRA, or their tax program was vibe coded?

  5. For any #Canadian Linux users out there who haven't done their #taxes and are wondering about whether they have to fire up a Windows VM just to run tax software again, here's an option. There's also potentially a nasty surprise in store for you if you do this in VirtualBox.

    I've used a number of tax packages over the years, as they merged or got bought out by other companies. For the last 10, it's been #UFile, which is #Windows-only. [1] I usually fire up an old Windows VM in #VirtualBox, but if you're running a recent Linux kernel, you'll find VirtualBox is broken and won't run. Oops. Now you're in a panic because you need to do your taxes before the end of the month...

    I haven't checked to see if you could use kvm/virt-manager or another #VM system.

    The next obvious way, if you don't want to install Windows on bare metal, is to try using #Wine to run the software directly on #Linux. If you search the net, you'll find a little info about doing this. A lot is ancient, but still seems to apply - but the stuff I found was not detailed at all, just people saying "it works" or similar.

    I was able to finish the process, but ran into some issues, a few of which were not obvious. I thought this might help others.

    [1] Well, they have an online version you can use in a browser, but I don't know why anyone would feel comfortable putting such sensitive information into some random company's web page.

  19. Protest Rally to Demand the CRA Stop Subsidizing Genocide, CRA Offices in Kitchener, Noon on Wednesday 3 September 2025

    In 2024, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) revoked charity status for the Jewish National Fund and Ne’eman Foundation for violating CRA policy, but that is not enough! Canadian charities are still sending hundreds of millions of dollars per year to Israel, to fund its genocide and expansion of its settler colonial project. These charities are used as front to finance an illegal occupation, apartheid, and genocide—and the CRA allows this to continue.

    Join us as part of a National Week of Action to Demand the CRA Stop Subsidizing Genocide. Actions are scheduled from coast to coast between September 2 and 5. You can join our action at lunchtime on Wednesday 3 September 2025 — we’ll be gathering outside the CRA office in downtown Kitchener to call for the CRA to ensure that not a cent of our Canadian tax dollars helps to fund a genocide.

    What to bring: Signs and banners.

    Parking is available nearby at Centre in the Square. All ages welcome.

    We hope to see you there,

  23. Hey Canadians, If you submit your taxes to the CRA and see the error 95365, please note it's a bug on the CRA side and affects all tax submission software. Just search the net for "CRA error 95365". You can wait for the fix, print and mail your tax return, or change the 50% split on the T3 to 100% and then enter half the value for all the boxes for you and your spouse's returns.

    DO NOT repeatedly submit as CRA will lock your account, which takes hours to unlock.

  28. Thank you Jasraj Singh Hallan for your strong support today for racialized charities.

    Muslim charities have ongoing questions about bias at the CRA that the Taxpayer Ombudsperson report was unable to address - as we knew it wouldn’t - and likely won’t be by another review either.

    We don’t need another review.

    We need reform.

  29. The Taxpayers' Ombudsman released his long-awaited report on racism and Islamophobia at the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

    It tells us we have a problem.

    The Ombudsman was not able to get everything he needed to conduct a thorough review of the CRA and its practice targeting particular communities.

    This is alarming.

    The CRA is not transparent.

    It did not release everything needed for the Ombudsman to do his job.

  30. Today, the Taxpayers’ Ombudsperson's Office released their report of systemic racism and Islamophobia at the CRA.

    It paints a clear picture of a system where transparency and accountability are extremely difficult to ascertain.

    Read our full statement.

    | #Islamophobia #SystemicRacism #CanadaRevenueAgency #CRA #cdnpoli #Canada #NCCM

  31. Another review is not enough by itself,

    to hold the CRA accountable for its unfair targeting of Muslim organizations.

    hilltimes.com/story/2023/03/21

    We are calling for an immediate suspension of the Agency's Review and Analysis Division pending the conclusion of the review and implementation of systemic reforms.

    Things cannot go on as they have.

    It is time to stop systemic Islamophobia in our institutions.

  33. There is something materially wrong with the #CRA #CanadaRevenueAgency. My father passed and it’s still taking time to resolve Trillium payout. First I owe so I pay, then I don’t so here’s a cheque. Then I have to pay, but a different amount so I pay. Now I’m getting a refund. All after a year in a half. #WTF #Cdnpoli #Canada #Taxes

  34. We will also conclude (I expect) third reading debate of #BillC31, which provides rent relief for low-income Canadians, and extends some dental benefits to Canadian children. We need to get this one passed in a timely manner, so the #CRA (aka the #CanadaRevenueAgency) has the lead time it needs to distribute the funds. #senateofcanada #SenCa #cdnpoli
