Not the RBC. I called last week to tell them I hadn't received my receipt, since I was under the impression they had a legal obligation to mail them out asap, but apparently not. Then I asked if I could get it online, and she said no. Having said that, if I really couldn't wait, she did say I could go to my local branch and have them print me one.

I can understand last minute contributions, but I made mine in January, so really don't understand why it would take so long. It didn't stop me from doing my taxes over the weekend to figure out if I owed or not, just that I can't submit just yet.

Do you know how much you contributed? You can always add it in without the receipt (unless you're mailing your return)

Yes, but I also make monthly contributions via automatic withdrawals. I'm not sure if the March 1st one will be on the receipt or not. It's no big thing. I just wanted to know if I owed money or not, and I don't, so no big hurry.

What would you recommend using? I'm filing on a mac computer, is there good free software?

I got my refund on Monday-10 days after filing on line.

We filed on the 17th and on the CRA My account website is a message saying that we will receive our direct deposit on March 25th. Pretty quick turn around.

I got $1360 back this year. woohoo
I put a lot into my RRSPs this year

For people with one or a few T4s and only a few deductions it seriously only takes 20 minutes to figure it out and bang it off. I think everyone should know how to file basic returns. People are out there paying $50-$60 or more for something it takes 20 minutes to learn to do themselves.

Thanks for that recommendation!
I have a very simple return...one T4 and i usually do it myself. But maybe i'll give this a shot.

Does studio tax work for a mac?

I found this link in another thread where someone else asked about tax software for Mac's

Got ours today. I'm soooo happy! lol

*sigh* no we haven't :( lol

Didn't get around to it. Always do it myself. Used ufile last year but going to check out studio tax now. Never heard about it before.

Done

We had ours done last week. Paid $209 for two tax returns through an accounting firm. Cheaper than H&R Block.
