Since I have been seperated and divorced, I have had my tax return
audited 60% of the times I have filed. Each time they ask for proof
that my son lives with me, plus other personal information. The Canada
Revenue Agency insists that the checks are random, but the math
doesn't work for me. If they randomly check less than 1% of returns,
then checking mine 60% of the time is not a statistical anomoly, it
clearlly indicates specific targetting.

I suspect that the computer checks divorced, male, child deduction -
this must be wrong.

I am looking for any other custodial fathers in Canada that have
experienced similar discrimination by the Canadian Revenue Agency.
Please email me.

Thanks,

This does not surprise me. CRA has the most brutal rules against fathers
I have ever seen. For example, even though I have joint custody, since I
am obliged to pay the ex support, I cannot claim children as
dependents... but my ex can! Also, there are all kinds of nice rules
for deducting legal fees if they are going after money... but I cannot
deduct fees for acces, custody or trying to get my support lowered.

It never ends...
