Common reporting errors
The following are three of our review programs:
- Pre-assessment Review Program
- Processing Review Program
- Matching Program
Under these programs, we review income, deduction, and credit amounts on individual income tax and benefit returns to ensure they have been correctly reported. Because these programs are often based on the information obtained from information returns, it is essential for filers to fill out their returns properly to ensure the accuracy of the (re)assessments generated by the programs.
To find out more about common reporting errors, see the Services and information section below.
