Personal Tax Returns in Fort McMurray

Personal tax filing refers to the process of submitting your annual tax return to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). This includes reporting your income, deductions, credits, and any taxes owed or refunds due. At Twin Tax by Pinkney, we ensure your tax return is filed correctly, maximizing your eligible deductions and credits

Tax preparation involves the gathering and organizing of necessary documents and information to complete your personal tax return. This includes calculating your income, deductions, and credits, ensuring that all required forms are completed accurately, and filing your tax return with the CRA.

The deadline for personal income tax filing in Canada is typically April 30th each year. If you or your spouse/common-law partner is self-employed, the deadline is extended to June 15th. However, any taxes owed must still be paid by April 30th to avoid interest and penalties.

All Tax slips issued to you

RRSP contribution receipts

Proof of deductions (e.g., childcare expenses, medical receipts, charitable donations)
