I am not sure where to put this question. I am a software dev, and I contracted as a sole proprietor for almost 2 years. I haven't been contracting for almost 7 months. One of the companies I contracted for is requesting that I sign a document stating that the work I did with them from 2010 was for SRED, this is gov't funding acquired for the work I did and put forward for the project. They want to have me sign that the billed invoiced hours are for this. This makes me leary because this was not brought up when I was there. I did work, but no one brought this to me then. I already filed my taxes for 2010 so that in itself confuses me. I am now filing for 2011. Also, the document they sent is so vague, it doesn't even have the hours on the document, it just has an overview of the two modules.

Has anyone came across anything like this or have advice?

This is certainly off-topic; the matter is purely legal, not software development. I don't understand how someone can make you something which you don't think is right. Did they pay you? do you have your revenue documents in place? Signing anything which is not right is always potentially dangerous...

Thank you, I have moved this to legal tag. "I don't understand how someone can make you something which you don't think is right." I am not sure what this means. I did work on parts of the project yes. What is an example of the revenue document? I have all invoices.

Laws in your country are different to mine. Years ago I was asked to sign a document - by lawyers - long after I had done the work - that the work was Y2K compliant. I told them to go suck eggs in no uncertain terms and I would have thought you should do the same.
They are flying a kite.
You could confirm you did the work but if you did not know then who it was funded by how could you now say you know.
