We have done a preliminary run through on the tax program and will be getting a refund. However need to wait somewhat longer for T5's etc to arrive.

Mine won't show up until the end of February. We normally get a decent refund though.

The only thing I have so far is my T4 still waiting on everything else so think it will still be a bit of a wait for me.
2022 is going to be my year, the year I find organization in my life and the year I focus on myself,
follow along as tackle day to day life and whatever else 2021 throws at me:

Don't forget this year the envelope is seperate .. so you have to pick it up from another bin ..its not included inside the forms booklet like previous year.
Its weird , I also do a paper return ..the old fashioned way ..no software for me ..and drop it at a CRA drop box close to me , so no postage for me either

I wanted to file with Turbo tax but I didn't see the normal "free" option available. Also....I forget, if I want to E-File, do I get a new code every year? Oh my annoying brain lol

I don't think Turbo tax has Free return this yr.
See table below.
Studio Tax is Free for everyone.
Other tax programs depending on income level is free software filing for some people and not for others.
Ofcourse the Netfiling from CRA is free for everyone, no charges for that..I am talking of the software charges.

Thank you tjthemanto, I forgot about he code. Wasn't last year the first year we didn't need it? I did poke around Turbo Tax and you can do it for free this year for one return. This is what they offer there.

I mailed in my basic return. Noticed these things:
1) envelopes for Hamilton this year are addressed to Summerside PEI CRA Tax Centre! Which is as they should be-Hamilton returns go to PEI. Last year, the generic Sudbury Tax Centre address was on the envelopes (Sudbury is where Toronto returns are sent). Envelopes are in a slot on side of Forms box. If slot is empty, ask Postal Office staff for a refill.
2) Form ON-BEN: the 2014 Ontario Trillium Benefit form-there is a box 6109-read what it says in the guide for that part before checking it.
If your family is getting more than $360 in OTB for the July 2014-June 2014 year, by checking this box you are agreeing to a lump sum payment in July 2015. Why is Ontario making families/individuals wait a year for the lump sum if people want one payment? Is this what Premier Wynne meant by letting taxpayers make an election on the 2013 tax returns? Otherwise DO NOT CHECK THE BOX and you'll see your monthly sum every month starting in July 2014.
For families/individuals receiving less than $360 for the OTB, the lump sum will be paid in July 2014.

* have income on line 104? Make sure you claim an amount on line 363 on Schedule 1 for employment amount.
*if your working income is over $3000 and you are lower income, you may be able to claim something on line 453 Working income tax amount (Schedule 6).Last edited by Ciel; Tue, Feb 11th, 2014 at 09:15 PM.

Ciel GOOD point on the lump sum for OTB. I read over that to my mom about 20 times and she finally said to me, "that's going to screw a lot of people up. Maybe they are hoping you die before they have to pay the lump sum out." lol It's so stupid.
