How to Maximize Your Tax Return

With tax season upon us, it is important to look into the various ways of making sure that your tax return is completely optimized. Some of the best ways to improve your tax refund include:

Look into Family Tax Benefits

If you have children, you may be entitled to childcare expense claims. Depending on the age of your children, how many children you list as dependents, and your family’s net income, you can significantly increase the amount that you see on your tax refund. If you have a spouse with a physical disability or mental impairment, you also might be eligible to receive a certain amount from the Canada Caregiver Credit.

Disability and Medical Expense Credits

If you have a disability, the Disability Tax Credit is a great resource. It is a non-refundable tax credit and it can reduce the amount of taxes that eligible persons need to pay. On top of this tax credit, many medical expenses are also tax deductible. Most of these expenses will require prescriptions from a doctor but, when documented properly, they can be a great way to maximize your tax returns.

Maximize Your RRSP Contributions

Your RRSP contributions have great potential to be deducted from your annual taxes. By contributing to these accounts, you can save for your future at the same time as saving on your taxes.

Keep Track of Student Loan Payments

If you are paying into your student loans, you might be able to claim the interest being charged. While this only works with certain types of student loans, it can be a great way to drive down the amount you might owe the CRA.
