Using the Auditor tab

The Auditor tab summarizes potential issues and warnings that may delay the processing of a personal tax return:

• Issues and Notices guides users through fixing errors. Issues must be addressed or signed off before filing.
• Warnings should be reviewed, as missed information can delay the Canada Revenue Agency process

Place a check mark beside each Issue or Warning or Notice to sign-off.
