Very often there is more than one way to complete a tax return and we will discuss with you the various options available.
Book an appointment early - There is a tendency for people to gather all the information together before booking an apointment and that is understandable, but do yourself a favour and book ahead. The reality is, the majority of tax returns are done in the closing weeks of April, and this is the worst possible time. Even if you are missing some information, it is still better to book an apointment early and wait for the last T-slip to arrive.
Start now - Don't wait until half an hour before your appointment to look for T-slips, medical bills or moving expenses, etc. Start putting these items together as they arrive in the mail. Also - make notes about income you have received or expenses you have incurred. Not all expenses are deductable, but it's better to have them available.
Ask Questions - During the appointment, we will ask you questions and you should also ask questions. The Canadian tax system is not simple and is not readily understood. Don't forget it's your money that it being taxed. You need to know all of your options when it comes to paying your share of the revenue necessary to run this country.
