It’s tax time, and you’re asking yourself whether you should save a few bucks and try doing your own taxes.
It mostly comes down to how complicated your financial situation is, how comfortable you are and how much time you have to take a crack at doing your own taxes. But one word of caution - DIY taxes could mean missing out on refunds due to costly mistakes.
The more complex your situation is, the more imperative it becomes to use a professional and knowledgeable accountant. After all, the last thing anyone wants is the CRA knocking at your door.
Remember, (reputable) accountants deal with taxes on an ongoing basis and are up to speed on tax changes. Choosing this option will help take any uncertainty around taxes off your plate.
