Thinking of filing online this year? The Canada Revenue Agency provides a fast and
secure online service.
Here are six tips to help you get ready:
1. Do some research and read about the different ways to reduce
your taxes this year.
2. Gather all of your receipts and a copy of your 2011 return
to help you complete your filing. It is
good to keep these handy in preparation of a potential audit.
3. Make sure CRA has your current address and most recent bank
information for depositing any refund.
The fastest way to update this information is by using “My Account” on
the CRA’s website, this will also let you keep track of your refund status.
4. In order to file online, you will need to use certified software
or a Web application. The CRA provides a
list of options at www.netfile.gc.ca/software
5. Keep in mind, using online software and tools often identify
benefits and credits you weren’t aware of.
6. Have your SIN and birth date on hand so you can safely and
securely transfer your return to the CRA using NETFILE.
Hope these help, if you prefer to use a professional
accountant let me know and I will refer one to you.
Have a great weekend,
Tracey
