Here are some useful personal tax tips to keep in mind this tax season:


1. Keep Accurate Records

Maintain organized records of all income, expenses, and receipts throughout the year to simplify tax preparation.


2. Understand Deductions and Credits

Research available tax deductions and credits that you may qualify for, such as education credits, home office deductions, and medical expenses. You can even speak to your accountant to understand which deductions and credits you are eligible for.


3. Contribute to RRSP

Consider maximizing contributions to retirement accounts like RRSP, as these can reduce your taxable income.


4. Use a Tax Professional

Consult a tax professional to ensure you are taking advantage of all possible tax benefits.


5. Work From Home

If you have worked from home, ask your employee for form T2200. This form will allow you to claim certain work from home expenses, that can reduce your tax liability.


6. Plan for Estimated Taxes

If you are self-employed or have other income not subject to withholding, plan for estimated tax payments throughout the year.


7. Keep Up with Tax Law Changes

Stay informed about changes in tax laws that may affect your filing or tax liability.


8. Consider Timing of Income and Expenses

Evaluate whether it is beneficial to defer income or accelerate expenses to minimize tax liability for the current year.


9. Review Past Returns

Look at previous tax returns to identify any missed deductions or credits that could apply to your current situation.


10. File on Time

Ensure you file your tax return by the deadline to avoid penalties and interest on any owed taxes.
