Failing to file your tax return or making a mistake could raise red flags. If you’re worried about filing your taxes this year, learn what common mistakes you should avoid and how to avoid them.

2022 Tax Season

Top Mistakes People Make During Tax Filing

1 Failure to Report All Income

It is a must to report all streams of income on your tax return. This means you also need to include other part-time jobs or side hustles such as Driving a Carpool/Uber, Tutoring Jobs, Freelancing Work, selling pre-loved items.

Also, if you have received government aid such as EI, CERB/CRB, or any other financial assistance to help you recover from income loss due to the pandemic, you will need to include the benefits in your annual income report.

2 Missing Your Paperwork

Start preparing your paperwork as soon as possible. Never wait for the deadline to be close before you start collecting all your documents. You need to gather your income slips, tuition slips, personal receipts, and more.

Canada Revenue Agency is encouraging all Canadians to file their income tax return online. Therefore, you should have digital copies of all your documents.

Also, keep copies of the paperwork even after sending it online. You may need it again if CRA asks for any supporting documents in the future.

3 Skipping Research

Before you do your filing, make sure to do your research. This will help you know the important updates about any changes in this year’s income tax filing.

You may look up potential deductions, credits, and expenses you can claim.

Tax Season Common Mistakes

4 Not Seeking Professional Help

You are not required to complete this process on your own. If you need help and are worried about making mistakes when filing your tax return, you may seek professional help or assistance from Tax Clinics near you.

If you are willing to spend some money, you may ask for a Certified Public Accountant or Tax preparer to help you file. However, if the budget is tight, there are free tax clinics that can provide you assistance.

5 Missing Deadlines

Missing the filing deadlines can cost you penalties. The penalty for late filing is 5% of the balance you owe from 2020. After that, they add 1% of the balance for every month that you miss. This can pile up to 12 months, so beware of missing the deadlines.

The filing deadline for 2020 is April 30th, 2021. The deadline for self-employed is June 15th, 2021 if you miss this deadline, file as soon as you can, even if you can’t afford the payment.

Can’t Pay What You Owe?

Make a Savings Plan

If you are living on a tight budget, consider planning to save. Plan your monthly spending and allocate a certain percentage towards savings.

Contact CRA

If you are experiencing financial difficulty, contact CRA and plead for tax relief options. They may cancel/waive penalties or interest depending on the severity of your situation.

Consider a Debt Consolidation Program

A debt consolidation program is a legally binding agreement between you and your creditors (including CRA), allowing you to pay a smaller portion of what you owe in five years or less.

I would like to personally thank Suma Mathew and National Debt Relief team for helping me save a lot of money throughout my time with them. I was able to get in contact with Suma shortly after I made my phone call to the head office and was approved of my terms and payments within that same week. Suma was very patient with me as I had a variety of questions for her and she was able to answer it all during our phone call Now I am able sleep at night, knowing I could afford my bills and still be able to save by the end of the month.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Debt Consolidation is a negotiated debt settlement offer made between you and your creditors with the help of a Debt Relief Agency in Ontario. Some key benefits of Debt Consolidation are interest-free program, no upfront fee required, combined monthly payment into one affordable amount, no lawsuits, and many more.

Yes, your assets are safe from creditors. A licensed debt relief agency in Ontario will help you come up with an offer to your creditors that will make sure your assets will be out of the paper.

No, in fact, this is one of the great advantages of a Debt Consolidation Program. All wage garnishment will stop from the day you filed the proposal.

The effect on your credit score is not going to be severe. Your credit score will most probably go to R7 Rating and will remain in your credit report for another 3 years after you completed the program. This means that it will not be permanent and you will still be able to rebuild your credit score.

 

This varies depending on the proposal you will be discussing with the help of a certified debt relief agency. It is also worth noting that debt consolidation cannot exceed more than 5 years.

If a debt is shared, you need to file a joint debt consolidation offer to your creditors. However, in most cases, in which the debts are individually incurred will have no impact on your spouse.

After three missed payments, your debt arrangement with creditors will be broken and you will end up getting chased again for the original debt amount plus interest.

A debt consolidation offer can be paid off earlier if you can. In this way, you receive your “Certificate of Completion” sooner and you can immediately start rebuilding your credit score.

Let’s Just Put It Simple....... Not All Hero's Wear Caps........I spoke with Suma over a fairly lengthy period of time because of my busy schedule and lack of free time on my part, and she was not only extremely patient and understanding, but also beyond helpful And informative. Any question I had and no matter how many times she had to explain it to me she took her time to make sure I completely understood every single step and process before she moved on to the next thing. I have been so stressed out and worked up about my debt and trying to figure out how to fix it all since I know I will not be returning to work at all in the future because of medical issues and being 26 with that realization makes things just that more stressful but Suma made everything so easy and my payments are $100 a month for less then 5 years with no interest or penalties for early pay off. I’m so glad that I didn’t settle with some other place that was asking for $350 + a month for 7-12 years and paying off early would cost you more.
