My question is: Canadian-specific
QUESTION: Hi there,
I am an international student and from sept 2002 to april 2003, I rented a basement in a house. In april 2003, I filed my tax return and I got some money back. Few month after, I got a letter from the tax office asking me for rent receipts. So I ask them to my landlord but she didn't want to give them to me (she didn't declare her rent income) so now I am in trouble because the tax office want me to return them a part of the money they sent me. But I have spent it already so I don't know what to do.

File a T400 Notice of objection form right away. For the 2002 year you have to file it before April 30th. Get letters and affidavits from fellow students that know you lived at that address and pesent to the tax office along with some other evidence that yo9u lived there. Find her ad that you answered to rent the place in the first place. File an affidavit w(a sworn statement) with your notice of objection that you lived there and paid $XXX per month in cash. Then give a copy of your affidavit to the sSpecial Investigations Office of the Tax office with a letter reporting your landlord. With any luck, she has been doing the same thing for a dozen years and the tax office will reassess her back 8 years with a large enough bill and penalties and interest that she will ose her house.
Put her name and address up on the Bulletin Board at York University warning other students. REport her to the Registrar's office.
Shame on her for beating a starving international student up.
Heck, print this out and take a copy to her and let her read it and maybe she will just write you TWO receipts real quick for the 2002 AND the 2003 season.
Last but not least, you likely filed your return electronically. NEVER EFILE - NET FILE - TELEFILE or file any method b ut a paper return. It is my opinion that your chance of being asked for something like rent receipts increases a dozen times if you file electronically. That goes for both CANADA and the USA.
Let me know what happens.
