It is that time of the year again. Work will be giving out the T4s this week. I think I have all the other documents as well. Should I take them to H&R (I know they rip ppl off) or should I purchase the Quick Tax and do it my self? Remeber I have mortgage and several investment accounts so mine can get little hairy? What would you guys be doing?
My mom gives mine to her friend, and she does it for next to nothing. But, You live in Halifax right? Go to that place in Fairview .... I think his name is the Tax Man ..... right across from KFC, thats where my boyfriend and his step father goes! You get your money back THAT day... they take a percentage away, but I cant remember how much !
I have a new accountant. I don't know what's worse, the amount I'll owe the accountant or the amount I'll owe Revenue Canada.
Haha, basically if you have particular expenses throughout the year relating to your job, you can claim them and get a portion of those expenses back. If you have a home office and work does not provide you with one, or doesn't assist with your mortgage, you can claim a percentage of your mortgage for business purposes. Same thing goes for vehicles, entertainment, medical, ect.
Hmm I don't have a home office so I guess that is out the window. Maybe it will be best if I get some professional help with this.
Get quick tax. Enter in numbers where it tells you to. It's pretty simple. You say you've got investments, do you have investment income that you have to claim? If so, there are a number of levels of Quick Tax. Pretty sure the one above "Basic" ("Professional" maybe?) allows you to enter those amounts as well.
By the sounds of it, you're pretty much just got a T4 then. Basic Quick Tax will cost you like $25 bucks, and be more than enough to do your taxes and submit them to CRA.
Paying out a percentage of your tax return just to get it that day Why not just wait? It's not free money... it's money owed to you from overpaying your taxes. You are already being taxed enough, why give any more of it away?
Meaning, The tax man needs to get paid too. Its like taking your taxes to H&R block. It costs money. I don't know how much he takes.
I'm not smart when it comes to this stuff and am going to have T4's from NS and AB and then I am going to claim my moving expenses, can someone tell me if it's fairly simple using the Quicktax program or if it would be a whole hell of a lot less confusing just to go to H&R Block? HELP!!!!
fuck I was an accountant and took my taxes to H&R block....lol I think it was $25+ tax and they gave me a free pizza. I did have to argue with the pissant doing the taxes about my deductions and things I was claiming. but man were they ever nervous when I said I was an accountant....
as for programs if you go to CRA's website they will list a bunch of approved online programs that allow you to do your taxes, some are even free services.
I believe it is like $40, I have a disc they sent me where you just purchase the cd key online, I think it is a little cheaper, I have to get my taxes done professionally since they are a little more complex so you can have this disc if you like.
