Hello, thank you for your response. I have been living in China since 2015, which a brief return to Canada in 2019-2021 to complete graduate studies in Toronto. I have rental income on a property I own in Kitchener, and am currently being reassessed by CRA. CRA states that I owe taxes in my housing allowance from my employer. I normally get reassessed each year I claim foreign income, and upon providing documentation, they readjust back to my original income tax filing. However, for the 2022 year, CRA is now stating that I owe taxes on my housing allowance, and I have made a dispute on this amount as the amount is upwards of $4000 with penalities. The China government does not have clear documentation to provide that state housing allowance should not be included, as it once did it previous years, as they have done away with their own version of NOA for foreigners. I have purchased the premium turbo tax filing for the 2022 year. Wondering if Turbo Tax can help communicate these guidelines with CRA that housing allowance should not be included, or at least review my filing for the 2022 tax year.
