Filing your personal tax return doesn’t have to be stressful. I’m here to help you navigate the complexities of tax season, maximize your refund, and ensure compliance with Canada’s tax regulations.
What Are Personal Tax Returns?
A personal tax return, or T1 return, is how individuals in Canada report their income and claim deductions and credits to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Whether you’re employed, self-employed, or retired, filing an accurate return is essential to avoid penalties and make the most of available tax benefits.
