If you are filing a tax return for the first time, you may have some questions or need some help. There are several ways you can get answers or help. We have already discussed some of these:
- You can visit our Web site (see Links).
- You can look up information on a specific line number of the General Income Tax and Benefit Return, in the General Income Tax and Benefit Guide, or on our Web site at Completing a tax return.
- You can call us or use T.I.P.S. (see Contacts).
- If you are planning to use certified NETFILE
software to prepare your return, you may be able to get help and guidance from within the software. - If a tax professional will be preparing or filing your return, then he or she should be able to help with questions.

"I will help you, but every part of the form is labelled," his uncle replied, "usually with a line number. We will fill in the lines that are right for you as we go. If we need to, we can look in the guide to get more information on how to fill in a line." "So, because each line has a number, we can look it up in the guide?" asked Paul. "That's right," said his uncle, "now lets get started. Do you have your T4s For more information on information slips, see Information slips (T4 and more). |
