Hello Canadian Money Forum, I am self employed and I noticed I have an amount in my Turbo Tax for the Business-use-of-home-expenses available to carry forward. How can this value be used in my future Tax return(s)? Thank you

The fact that I had self-employment income in Quebec and received some childcare advances, means that besides my Federal/BC tax return, I need to file a Quebec tax return. Let's say I received $60K in Quebec in freelance income, then I will end up paying $X (a few thousand) to Quebec. Now I am...

My spouse and I have worked from home since the very start of the pandemic (March 16). We rent a house and pay a considerable amount of rent ($3500/month) so it may be better for us to use the detailed method to deduct home office expenses than the COVID flat rate method. We both have received...

My father passed away in 2017. My mother continues to receive money from his private corporate pension plan (yes, they were notified of his death). I believe this is normal, however, the T4A she received is in my father's name. His final return was processed last year. What should I do...

I want to know, out of curiosity, is it true that, unless one plans to retire less than 20 years after entering the job market, it is always a bad idea to have an RRSP for tax purposes if you save the vast majority of after tax income? That is, it is bad even if your income is > $220, 000? Let...

From what I've read, because I day trade my cryptocurrency (i.e. I don't buy and hold), my cryptocurrency profits would be considered business income (so I'll end up paying twice as much taxes as I would if I were a holder and able to call it capital gains). :sulkiness: Does anyone have any...

Hello, I incorporated my company in Canada at Federal level and also registered it with Quebec government, because the company operates in Quebec. I did it in September 2016. As per the accountant I consultated casually at the time, I'm free to decide what's my fiscal year and file my tax...

I have just retired and have investments in RRSP/RRIF, TFSA and Non-registered accounts. What would be the most efficient way to withdraw funds during retirement? Thanks.

I usually have H&R do my taxes, but this year I want to save bit and do it myself. A couple of questions: Do I claim TFSA investment trading gains/losses? I did a ton of trades A for "fun account". If so will each trade need to be entered, or totals for each? Also, do I claim RESP...

Hello. I'm a dual Canadian/USA citizen and my last country of residence was Canada. For years I've submitted tax returns to both CRA and IRS because USA taxes on citizenship not residence. Since I was living and working in Canada I would use the USA "Foreign Earned Income Exclusion" (FEIE) and...

In Canada, you are required to file taxes as common law if you're shacked up and you have a baby (otherwise I wouldn't). To end a Canadian common-law relationship, you just have to sign a letter and move out. In the US, it is much more difficult to become common law and you aren't ever forced...
