Here are some quick tips to get you started with your 2010 taxes:

1. Gather all your paperwork – 2009 taxes, notice of assessment, CRA access code, tax slips.
2. Will you do them or will you use a tax preparer?
3. Software or paper return? You can use the software to prepare your taxes and then print and mail or submit electronically.
4. Do them on time, especially if you owe money.
5. Have a plan for your refund.

Keep your files & your notice of assessments.
