Is it normal for when you do a refile for the reassessment to only have the amount that you added on and not the whole new refund amount ???

Refile is the quick way to make an adjustment which is essentially only changing one or two entries which have been missed or need to be added in. It is not meant to redo all of the return.

So I will get the whole amount and not just the adjusted amount?

The reassessment will need to be done by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for the amount to be updated. It is recommended that you wait for your initial Notice of Assessment before doing a Refile. This way there is no confusion as to what was already received or not.

@sammyfaith Did you end up receiving the whole amount? I just came across your question when I tried googling the same question. I also refilled and the refill refund is extremely lower than my original file.

 Yes! The CRA said that I am still getting my original return and the refile amount.  🙂 🙂  I wondered if this would happen to others! I wish the amount on the overview page would change then lol
