You can do it! Join us in a 2-part adventure in DIY income tax filing!
1 – Info session (on Zoom)
This info-session will provide an overview of information, answer some of your questions, and give you tools to file your own taxes using the inexpensive online tax tool Ufile. This will help you demystify your 1 or 2 (or more!) year(s) of CERB !
Here are some download links to help you get started:
> Self-employed artists (English) – this is a form in which you can enter all your expenses
> Preparation checklist (English)
> Info-session PowerPoint (English)
> Download link for UFile
2 – Tax Spa (in studio)
Do you hate doing your taxes? Us too. Introducing Tax Spa: a day that integrates self-care, well-being, and community-building into the isolating and stressful activity of preparing your income tax declaration.
With tables set up around the studio and mats available for stretching and speed naps, we hope to offer a unique peer supported coworking space where income tax preparation could actually be fun. Lauren Semeschuk will be on hand to help you navigate the online platform and resolve your sticky questions.
What to have ready for the Tax Spa:
● Receipts categorized in a spreadsheet. Don’t forget your medical expenses!
● All applicable items from the checklist that you have received for 2021 – including all Notices of Assessment from both CRA and RQ.
● Complete copy of what was filed for your last year’s tax returns (PDF).
● Tax Software downloaded and looked at/started – U-file or other.
