The great folks at TurboTax have given me six (6) codes to use with their TurboTax online software system.  I don’t need all of these this year, maybe you want a code to use?

To win one of these online codes you just need to enter my giveaway using the options below.  When commenting or tweeting I encourage you to finish this sentence:   I save on taxes by __________.   Sharing your favourite tax filing tips with me and with others in a comment or tweet will increase your chances to win.

I’ll draw the winners at random and if you’re a lucky winner, I will email you.  Make sure you enter a valid email address.   You’ll have 48 hours to respond to my email.   If I don’t hear back from you I’ll draw another name.

If you can’t think of any ways to save on taxes, fear not, I have a few tips for you.  Over the next few weeks while my TurboTax giveaway is on I might tweet out a few more tax tips as I research them and maybe write another blogpost about them – so stay tuned for those.

Students – put cash back into your pocket (rather your Mom and Dad’s pocket) by claiming:

Tuition – up to $400/month you were in school.

Books – up to $65/month you were in school.

Moving costs – when you moved over 40km to attend school (and out of your parent’s basement).

Parents – identify these tax credits for your family:

Children’s fitness tax credit – up to $500 per year for eligible child.

If you’re a new parent maybe you can claim the Adoption Expense Credit.

 New homemoaners:

Check to see if you qualify for the Home Buyer’s Amount, a tax credit up to $5,000.

Don’t miss out on the GST/HST rebate, if your primary place of residence was a new house and the price was under $450,000.

Seniors and retirees:

Use TurboTax to see if you qualify for the Family Caregiver Tax Credit.

File on time – seniors receiving Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) must file on time to continue benefits and payments.

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Good luck to all students, parents, new homeowners (same as homemoaners really) and retirees alike with my giveaway. 

Thanks for reading. I encourage you to subscribe to my blog via email so you never miss a post.
