Hey Jessica loved the tax episode on your podcast this week. One new benefit I’m not sure you and Susan talked about was the Canadian Training Credit. It’s a $250 credit with a lifetime benefit of $5000. I did a super quick video on it. Definitely take advantage of that credit as well! Keep up the great work ☺️

For sure, but the good thing is, you can easily try it out yourself for free and the program really does walk you through what info you need to put in yourself. You only pay if you actually want to Netfile your taxes. So I'd recommend making an account and just playing with the program to see what comes after the part I stopped at. :)

I’m so happy you made this video! I was looking into the DIY self/employed but didn’t sign up because I thought I would have to pay first! I’m so happy I can go into and play around with it first before paying. Do you think the DIY + assist version is similar to the self-employed DIY but just with the option to talk to someone?
@jessicamoorhouse3 жыл бұрын
So the good thing is you can start with the DIY version then at a certain point you get asked if you want to upgrade to the Assist & Review. So you don't have to commit to the Assist & Review right away if you're not sure you want to do it. I haven't tried out the Assist & Review myself, but ya I believe it's basically the same thing as the DIY but then after you've filled out all your info, you get some assistance and get them to review your work.

Once you submit personal taxes and fill out the self-employed portion.... do you need to file anything else as a sole proprietor like business tax filing or gst/hst forms of any sort? Thank you
@jessicamoorhouseАй бұрын
As a sole prop, you just file your personal income tax return. If you're registered for GST/HST or other provincial sales tax, you file and pay those separately. You may be thinking of corporations. If you're incorporated, your corporation has to file a corporate tax return (separate from your personal tax return).

@jessicamoorhouse2 жыл бұрын
Not sure if I understand. Firstly, in Canada you don't file joint taxes with your spouse (that's only in the US). And if you're incorporated, that's also a completely separate entity than you personally, so you'd have to have a CRA My Business account for your corp, and CRA My Account for personal taxes, and would of course have to file a corporate tax return and a personal tax return.

Or if not using TurboTax, you could either provide your tax accountant access to your Quickbooks account or pull whatever reports they need to file your taxes for you.
