Great thread. Most common mistakes I see; not including US donations at all, including them in input but failing to state US source income amount (credit doesn’t come through) & forgetting to convert them to CAD funds! Donations add up. Don’t leave money on the table.

How about Celine Dion come back to Canada and sing the national anthem at the Rogers Centre for the World Series tomorrow or Saturday!? Imagine how emotional that would be with all of Canada watching! Make it happen Rogers…just sayin🤞

I attended a great session today with CPA Ontario on tax reform in Canada. It’s insane that > 50% of gov funding comes from personal income tax. Canada is at the top of tax rates worldwide & driving away good talent. Tax reform is needed & long overdue. cpaontario.ca/insights/thoug…

Thanks for an informative & much needed discussion today on tax reform with CPA ON jamie golombek. Tax reform is needed and long overdue. As a cross-border specialist I see it often, many departures the past 2-3yrs. Canada is losing talent.

Not my post, it’s another brilliant CPA I follow online. A common problem in this industry! “Lead: I have a quick question re a tax matter.. Me: Thanks for thinking of me, here's my calendly link and payment link for prepaid consult for 1 hour. Lead: Really? Me: Yeah, really.”

The CRA just paid out another bogus $5 million tax refund. A woman claimed she made $9,999,999 in foreign income. No verification. They just processed it and paid her. This is now a PATTERN: $40 million: paid to a fraudster. No verification. $37 million: paid to tax scammers.
