When filling someone as a “deemed resident”, do I include their entry and exit dates on a note on their paper filled tax return?

As the title states, do I need to include an entry and exit date when filling someone as a deemed resident?

I have a client who I filled as a DEEMED RESIDENT but also included his entry and exit dates. All my clients are basically deemed residents, but I didn’t catch the fact that he was here for less than 183 days. Way under. Client supposedly had a refund of $2500 but CRA determined that based off of his dates, he was actually a NON-RESIDENT and only got $411 back.

What would have happened if I didn’t include in their entry and exit dates? It was on a cover letter I made . Would the CRA have already known if he was in Canada for less than 183 days or how would that even work?

Thanks!
