CRA’s 3 Biggest Audit Targets in 2026


Listen Later

If you earned income from crypto, flipped real estate, or operate through a corporation, there's a strong chance you're already on CRA's radar going into 2026.

In this video, I break down the three audit patterns CRA is targeting most aggressively — based on real audit files I'm seeing every week — and the exact triggers that are leading to reassessments.

CRA is no longer "taking a guess." They're pattern-matching data across platforms, pulling third-party records, and using automated analytics. Many taxpayers don't realize they're exposed until the audit letter arrives.

In this video, you'll learn:

• How CRA is using automated data matching and platform reporting to flag audits

• Why real estate flips (and the 365-day rule plus HST) are still triggering reassessments

• Why incorporated workers are being audited under Personal Services Business (PSB) rules

• Why crypto audits are accelerating — especially staking income and weak record-keeping

• How upcoming international crypto reporting will expand CRA visibility in 2026

• What to do before an audit starts — and how to respond if you're selected

If you fall into any of these groups — crypto, real estate, or incorporated work — this is not something to ignore.
