Hi tax experts

I have the following question.

1.If someone has less complicated tax situation(1 T4,no home),is it worth to go to an accountant/HR block for tax filing?

2. Do we get returns faster/less audit chances if filed by tax consultant?

3.Should husband and wife file individual tax returns or joint return?

Thanks in advance.

-- It is not worth going to an accountant when you have a straight-forward return.

-- No.

-- In Canada, there is no "joint tax return". Each person has to file a tax return with the name of the spouse (and his/her SIN) on it.

In addition to the Name & SIN, you also need Date of Birth and their income too

It is the same deal as filing once Canadian Immigration Papers versus going through a Immigration Consultant.

Both are Dak Ghars.

Nothing Fancy.

Tax consultants charge only 10 to 15 dollars. So, I think its good idea to do it from them.

If they charge just $10 to $15, I wouldn't recommend them for sure!
