<prompt> Human: I met my accountant through my lawyer. One day I was at my lawyers office and I casually brought up something about accounting and his legal secretary said she was also an accountant as her side business and has been one for over 20 years.That was the beginning of our relationship. Me and my friend both needed an accountant for our personal taxes and business taxes. Im really horrible with that kind of stuff so we just gave her all of our reciepts and she handled everything, filed everything and paid everything...Or so I thoughtShe had us sign some documents saying that she can talk to the CRA on our behalf so she could do our taxes etc..So today my friend called the CRA to check something... Then he discovered that he did not have any taxes filed in 2013 or 2014 for his personal or business taxes. I called the CRA and discovered the same thing. I apparently havent been paying taxes for the last 2 years and also havent even been filing them.The accountants phone has been off all day, so I stopped by her house since she has a home office as well as another office.She said it must be a mixup with the CRA and she will have it all resolved no problem tomorrow.How can it be a mixup? There is 50k missing from our pockets and none of it is showing in the CRAs records for the last 2 yearsI called my lawyer and discovered that in Canada you dont need any sort of certificate etc to be an accountant. Anyone can label themselves an accountant. I didnt know this.Im panicking. Is she stalling to buy herself time before fleeing?I know for a fact that she has no assets, so is my money gone and Im still going to have to file taxes and pay them for the last 2 years?I have receipts from the accountant saying how much money I have given herEDIT 1: Thanks to the suggestion from upaytonaa I created an account on the CRA website. My friend did as well. On mine it looks like she paid my 2014 personal tax, but didnt pay my business tax for years 2013 or 2014. On his it shows that his 2014 tax was file but not paid. His business taxes were never paid or filed either. A little weird that she paid my 2014 personal tax, but not my friends who paid well before me. Im really hoping this is an extreme case of incompetence, but my gut tells me she took us for a ride. My 2014 personal tax was the smallest amount of all our money paid. I will keep this thread updated with developments. Should have an update tomorrow.EDIT 2: I just woke up. Woke up to an email from her saying shes working on it. Told her she has a couple of hours to sort it before I move forwardEDIT 3: Time limit came. I asked her for a simple receipt that she sent money to the CRA at all. Told me there was a problem with all her payments to the CRA in a specific time range so that there were a lot of people she has to help. Said she has helped a bunch of clients already, and that I was making it hard for her to help me. She offered for me to deal with her attorney instead if I didnt want to wait for her to resolve it tomorrow. Looking like police is the only other option, and Im going to have to eat this loss.EDIT 4: Police have been contacted. Going to talk to her tomorrow again. Will update.EDIT 5: Police have been involved. I cant talk too much about the specifics right now, but she has sent me emailstext saying Stop bullyingthreatening me. I have a right to try and resolve this . Funnily enough I have only communicate with her via means that are recorded TextEmail so that I have a record. Not once have I threatened her or bullied her. I just told her that police would be involved if she doesnt fix this. She also claims to have contacted the police herself. I asked her for the police officers contact information so that we could keep all the information organized. She didnt get back to me on that, so clearly she was bluffing for some reason thinking it would make me allow her to rob me.  <response>: I would not hesitate to bring this to the attention of the police immediately.
