In my previous posts, I mentioned RRSP deductions and how they save you from paying more taxes and, in some cases, allow you to receive a refund. The list below also has the same effect. Either as a paper copy or as a digital record, you should gather the following documents.
· Carrying charges and interest expenses on investments purchased via a loan
· Union and Professional Dues not on a T4 slip
· Student Loan Interest after graduating from college or university
· Receipts and tax slips for childcare expenses
· Tuition Fees Tax Credit – tuition fees for colleges, universities and certified institutions over $100.00.
· Canada Training Credit for students – A refundable credit ($250/year, max. $5,000 lifetime) for eligible tuition or fees for individuals aged 26 to 66.
· Medical and dental expenses – also includes physiotherapy, massages, medical devices, etc.
· Home accessibility costs - costs such as railings, slopes, stair lifts, etc.
· Moving expenses – moving at least 40 km closer to the place of work or business
By organising these documents in advance, you’ll prepare your tax return efficiently and accurately. Filing tax returns begins February 23, 2026.
