I am wondering if anyone has had this problem and how or if it can be resolved. They have a lean on my taxes now for the past three years, but this year I desperatly need this money. I am a single mother of 3, on EI, with bills up to my neck. Can someone give me some info on this process of getting a lean removed from my taxes?

hope I can help I had this same problem you can apply for a Lean Assesment what I did was call Revnue Canada and told them I wanted to apply for this Lean Assesment and they asked me a few questions in regards to my income and expenses and you qualify if you can not make ends meet. I suggust before you call write out all your income and expenses such as food,rent,bills,clothing,car,car insurance,childrens stuff etc. they will then tell you wether you qualify to apply for this and tell you what you need to do like write a letter telling them why you need your income tax money back and copy's like proff of income, proff of rent and bills etc now such things as food and cloths you do ot need proof of since you can'y really show them what you spent. so try this and I hope it helps it takes a while like 6-8 weeks for a response. Now they did denie me saying I was not in hardship and here I am on maternity E/I getting 50% of my normal income which I assure you is not much and I have 2 kids so I do not know what hardship is but it is worth a try.Good Luck!!!
