The one question I didn't see posted, or answered, was "I sent in the T1013 and the CRA did not process it. My client is now saying I am an idiot and did not do my job. Why isn't the CRA posting all these forms, especially when I have the fax to prove they were sent? But, I digress. John Dearin

From Dec 6, 2006 post:

I had an interesting phone call with CRA a while back with regard to some of my T1013 forms not updating for online access. Because CRA sends confirmation of the consent to the taxpayer informing them of the consent and providing an opportunity to revoke the same, they will not provide online access when the taxpayer's address is in care of someone. Where this is the case, they cannot be certain the taxpayer will receive the confirmation letter and, thus, will not be able to revoke the consent if made fraudulently or under duress.

The consent is also held up if the client, as was the case for several of mine, were among those who had T5018's in the stolen CRA computers. In these cases, the taxpayer, in the CRA correspondence, is instructed specifically to contact CRA and confirm their consent.

Forms submitted more than six months after they were originally signed will not be processed.

Where a Power of Attorney accompanies a T1013, CRA should be keeping them together for processing. However, the representative indicated that some staff still separate the T1013 from the Power of Attorney. If the T1013 is processed ahead of the Power of Attorney, online access will be denied. (And if the return is filed c/o POA it will continue to be denied.)

Could any of these situations apply here?
