hi All,

I realized that while completing my citizenship application, for the Income tax related question i missed to mention about year 2019. Will that be an issue and they might return my application ?

I sent application in Feb, 2020. For the question 12-b : In the chart, tell us about your income tax filing for the last 5 years.
I have put tax years from 2014-2018, but i missed to mention anything about 2019. As i was not filed tax for 2019 by then, i forgot to mention the same.

I didn't received my AOR yet. Not sure if they will returned my application for this.

The question basically expected the answers Required to file =Yes and Taxes filed = No if you were a tax resident in 2019.

So technically the application should return back. But depending on the processing officer, they might get back asking for an explanation. Or proactively, you can submit your explanation and wait for the AOR.

All the best.

Maybe you are right but the OP sent his application in Feb and normally tax returns for any specific year must be filed by April 30 of the following year.
Technically even if the OP answered Yes to require to fill and No did not fill in Feb 2020 for the Tax year 2019, he was not wrong at all. He had until April 30 2020 to be in compliance with the requirement. Leaving that year empty in his case is a different story though.

I considered the timeline given by the OP and knowing that one can file their IT by April 30, I replied to the OP's concern knowing that the application has been sent and what can be done now while waiting for IRCC's response.

I did not say that the OP is wrong if he/she answered Yes and No in the respective fields. Just said that should have been the action on the application form in OP's situation while sending the application and as you rightly said leaving the field empty is a completely different issue that we will have to wait and watch from IRCC's action/response.

Cheers!

My application is similar (put in tax from 2014 to 2018) and submitted my application Jan 2020. I got my AOR in March.
