With 2010 now under our belts I've started thinking about tax time - I love filing my own taxes and researching ways of reducing said taxes.
Here's a list of my favourite websites to visit over the next couple of months in preparation for Efiling:
- Canada Revenue Agency: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/formspubs/t1gnrl/on-eng.html (for Ontario 2010 info isn't up yet)
- Tax Tips: http://www.taxtips.ca/filing.htm
- http://www.taxes.ca/index.php
Around this time I also start thinking about what I actually need to file my taxes. Here's what I've come up with so far:
- Income slips - Previous job, current job, EI
- Expenses from moving from home town to Toronto - moving van, gas, meals
- TTC pass information
- RRSP contributions
- TFSA contributions
- Health Insurance Payments/Payments for services before I got health insurance
- Last year's Assessment
- Donation receipts
If I've done my calculations correctly, I think that I'll be getting a refund between $600 and $1,200 for 2010 - I need to do a bit more research around the Health Insurance claim (I paid $1,400 for yearly premiums plus $350 before I got coverage), but I'll do that closer to filing time.
Ugh, taxes.
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about them lately as well and am anxious to get everything filed so it's out of the way. I am hoping to get a few thousand dollar return for my husband and I!
