yes but that amount is $19,000 and i'm sure you made more than that, other than that thought i think they are all around 20 bucks.

It's still cheaper than an accountant or H&R Block, but with the latter you can get your money back on the spot

^ just go to ufile.com and do your tax return there for free(annual $$ under 25K). i did mine there last year and the year before...all for free. i also like the part in the end that it shows you how much you'll be getting/owing

I have been using Ufile for a few years and i like it alot. Its simple to use if you have a single T4 to work through. Tax returns get complicated if you have multiple incomes, RRSPs, investments etc. So if you have questions or you see something you dont understand....i recommend consult with a tax pro.

Although I am a banker but sometimes this stuff flies over my head.

$30 000 an under, you are considered below the poverty line and you get everything back.....

i am not saying anyone is living in poverty, but i think that is what they refer to it as...

consult a an accountant

I don't think so.....I believe the basic personal exemption is like 8k or something, above that you pay taxes (on the tax ladder system)
