Personal Tax FAQ

What is the deadline to file my Canadian personal tax return?
The deadline is April 30 each year. If you or your spouse are self-employed, the filing deadline is June 15 — but any balance owing is still due April 30. Late filing penalties apply if you owe taxes.
What documents do I need to file my Canadian tax return?
Common documents include: T4 slips (employment income), T4A (pension, RRSP), RRSP contribution receipts, T3/T5 investment slips, medical receipts, childcare receipts (T778), tuition slips (T2202), charitable receipts, and rental records. Our AI portal organizes everything automatically.
Can I claim home office expenses on my T1 if I work from home?
Yes. If your employer requires you to work from home, you can claim home office expenses using the detailed method (Form T2200) or the flat rate method. Self-employed individuals can claim a proportional share of home expenses. Our Advisors determine the most beneficial approach for your situation.
Do I have to file a tax return if I had no income?
You may still benefit from filing even with no income. Filing establishes your RRSP contribution room and may qualify you for the GST/HST credit, Ontario Trillium Benefit, Climate Action Incentive, and other income-tested government benefits.
