Personal Tax Returns in Canada: T1 Filing for Individuals & Spouses
We specialize in maximizing your tax refunds while ensuring full compliance with CRA regulations. Let us handle your T1 returns so you can focus on what matters most.
What is a T1 Personal Tax Return?
The T1 General form is the official document all Canadian residents use to report income, claim deductions, and calculate taxes owed or refunds due. This mandatory annual filing applies to individuals regardless of marital status.
Report Income
Declare all earnings from various sources, including employment, investments, and self-employment.
Claim Deductions
Identify and claim eligible deductions and expenses to reduce your taxable income.
Calculate Taxes & Refunds
Determine your final tax liability or the refund you are due from the Canada Revenue Agency.
Our team specializes in preparing accurate, optimized T1 returns that ensure compliance while maximizing eligible credits and deductions for both individuals and couples.
Understanding Marital Status
Filing Requirements
Your marital status as of December 31 determines how you complete your return: married, common-law, separated, divorced, widowed, or single. All status changes must be reported to CRA within 90 days.
Spousal Reporting
Married and common-law partners each file separate T1 returns but must report their spouse's information (name, SIN, net income) on their forms to properly calculate credits and benefits.
Benefit Eligibility
Marital status directly affects eligibility for credits like the spousal amount, GST/HST credit, Canada Child Benefit, and valuable income splitting opportunities that could reduce your overall tax burden.
Filing Options for Couples
Coupled Preparation
Though filed separately, preparing returns together using coupled software optimizes tax savings by strategically allocating credits between partners.
Tax Planning
This approach doesn't change tax brackets but can reduce overall taxes owed through smart allocation of deductions like medical expenses and RRSP contributions.
Expert Guidance
Our service provides tailored recommendations on the best filing approach for your unique situation, including special cases like different provinces or non-resident spouses.
