So How Many People Have Already Filed their Taxes ?

[marchBB]

I'm in the same boat as everyone, still waiting for my slips. But even then I don't get it done until March/April haha.

I always use ufile <-- free, quick, and easy!!

I am waiting for 1 more T4, 1 more school form and 1 scholarship form. As soon as those are in I am getting them done since I'll be getting money back. Just not as much as I'd like

H&R Block screwed me last year - but I don't want to pay an obsceen amount of money like the year before ($130) to get a year of STUDENT taxes done, so I'll be going back to get them done for $29. I want to learn to do my own though, I have tried but student taxes are complicated.

Student taxes are super easy. I did them with a pencil and a calculator for years and years because I didn't want to pay for quicktax. I think students can even use ufile for free?

Ironically, my dad popped in my room this morning, telling me to get my stuff ready soon. All I need now is my T4 and I'm ready to go.

I had to read that like 3 times, I kept reading...my dad pooped in my room...I couldn't figure out how that related to taxes!

That would not be ironic at all.

You had me scared for a second, I thought I made another disastrous typo! lol

Tax questions....

When claiming my licence/professional dues due I claim the dues I paid in 2010 (which are for starting Jan 1 2011) or the dues I paid in Dec 2009 that were for 2010?

[roseofblack25]

I am waiting on my t4 and whatever slip I need for my school stuff that I can claim and then I plan on doing my own because it's too expensive to have them done for me and I doubt I will get back enough to cover the expense of having someone else do them LOL

Re: professional dues/licence fees-you claim what you paid in tax year 2010.

I file mine as soon as I receive all of the requisite paperwork; I resent giving the government an interest-free loan!

[rain4ever]

I started ours with one of the online things from the government. I have my T4 waiting for my interest form from OSAP. Waiting on everything from my BF. We are claiming common law this year and it requires more work! Glad I am starting early.

Haven't done mine yet but than again I'm still waiting for T4s. And considering I just discovered my mistake from last year I will make sure to go over it VERY carefully before submitting it this year

Argh, taxes....I guess I will have to begin soon once all the T_ forms roll in. I will be using StudioTax again this year. I just maxed out my RRSP contributions on Monday so that should give me some form of a refund....I hope.

If you guys are registered online for My Account on the Revenue Canada ( CRA ) website ..all the various T4 slips are already available online , so no need to wait for them in mail

Anyways you can't NETFILE or TELEFILE till Feb. 15 anyways .

Even if you mail it in ...they don't start processing the returns till Feb. 15 anyways .

Last year , I telefiled on Feb. 15 ..the very first day they opened ..guess what after 8 days ..YES ..8 days my refund was deposited ..this even included a Sat/Sun ..so basically we are talking about 6 business days ..WOW !!! that was fast

Thanks for the info on My Account...going to check into that.
