<prompt> Human: Backstory here, I left Canada to go to Australia on a working holiday visa for one and a half years. As I was saving up for Australia, I worked at my fathers restaurant as a dishwasher. This explains how he got my SIN number. He used my SIN number to work at another job at a credit call centre while I was in Australia. He admitted this to me stating that he only did it to make sure I got a big tax return upon returning back to Canada. I havent filed the tax return because I didnt want to commit tax fraud and increase the severity of the situation. He still wants me to file this tax report to clear his ass, he says he messed up and admits what he did was wrong. Im not smart when it comes to finances honestly and I cant even believe this has happened, I never thought I would be in a situation where my own father would steal my identity. I have an appointment to talkTo an accountant to sort this mess out but could use some insight on this mess.  <response>: Your father is lying. If he wanted you to have more money, and taking on a second job was the only way to do it, he would have given you his paycheck, not pretended he was you for tax purposes. By using your SIN instead of his own, he is keeping the government unaware of part of his income, most likely keeping himself in a lower tax bracket and therefore not paying all the taxes he legally needs to pay. Hes also raising your tax liability. In other words, he got a bunch of money tax-free, and now youre going to be taxed for money you never even saw. He absolutely knows what hes doing, and hes expecting you to be naive enough to buy his excuses.
