It’s tax season and the CRA is now accepting income tax returns and has cautioned that it will be another “unique” tax period due to pandemic-related challenges. Here’s what you should know: 1) The filing deadline will be April 30 for most, but because the deadline falls on a Saturday this year, returns filed by May 2 will be considered on time. 2) File your taxes to receive benefits and credits you may be entitled to. 3) If you worked from home may be eligible to claim a deduction of up to $500 for home office expenses using a temporary flat rate method.
