Doin’ The Tax Filing Dance – Getting Some Money Back

Time is running out for us Canucks to file our income tax. Usually I try to get mine done early March, but this year has been crazy and I still have not filed. I am close though.

As I did last year, I am using QuickTaxWeb to do the filing. I have been really impressed with it and find that it makes the process very easy. Traditionally I have bought QuickTax, which needs to be installed on your system but switched last year because I was doing some traveling and wanted access to the program on a couple of different computers. It was a very easy transition; the online tool essentially mimics the software in all aspects.

I have to confirm a couple of things, but it looks like I will be getting a refund of a bout $650 this year. Everyone likes to get a refund but the way I look at it is I have overpaid my taxes, given them an interest free loan and they are just giving me back what is mine. The government takes way too much up in Canada. But this is for another post….
