What is the Best Tax Software and Where to find all the Deductions for YOUR Taxes

April 17th – 2 weeks till Taxes are due – have you filed yet? 

In today’s letter, we will share with you 2 things: 

1 - Where to get recommended tax software 
2 - Where to find more information about deductions and tax credits 

Where to get recommended tax software: 

Electronic filing programs must be certified and approved by the CRA. Here are 3 great programs, starting with my favorite: 

1. Studio Tax – this is the program I often use - it’s 100% free and easy to use! http://www.studiotax.com/ 

3. H&R Block - Offer a free program but you will end up paying at least $17.99 per returnhttps://www.hrblock.ca/online-tax-software/ 

Where to find more information about deductions and tax credits: 

The best place to find all the deductions to go directly to the CRA website here: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/tax-return/completing-a-tax-return/deductions-credits-expenses/deductions-credits-expenses.html 

Easy link to remember, eh?! NOTE: Line 135 – Business Net Income is not included on the above list of deductions, when in actual fact, this could reduce your income taxes drastically!

Hope this helps! Looking forward to sharing lots of info on Social Responsible Investing once tax season is finished! Until then, happy filing!

6 Ways to Invest for Your Children's Success! (There's more than RESPs)

Image
Congratulations!!!  Welcome to parenthood!   Everyone reacts differently to this phase of life.  We were shocked by how much unconditional love we had for our children when they entered the world – who else would you throw yourself in front of a bus for?  When Rowen, our first born arrived, we unwisely threw $10K into a scholarship RESP out of pure emotion.  5 years later that $10K is now $9373 due to fees and charges.  I’m writing this article so you don’t make the same mistakes we made, and to ensure you that there are several ways to save for your child’s success, even if post-secondary school is not in the cards.  If you are lucky enough to have $10k, there's a better way to invest than we did, but even $50 - $100/month can make a HUGE difference!! Option #1 – RESP (Registered Education Savings Plan) – Growth Plan Pros:   Government matches 20%, 30% or 40% and investment can take advantage of compound growth. Catch : Grant can only be used for post-secondary edu
