Each year at this time we turn our attention to the sometimes unpleasant task of preparing our tax returns. Although taking care of taxes doesn’t necessarily have to be a negative experience, it seems that the psychological association that people make to their taxes is generally one of distaste, a task they would prefer to ignore if possible. Maybe it’s time to try to remove the stigma from tax preparation and approach it from a different angle. If you are filing as an individual your return may be fairly simple and chances are you could prepare yourself with some confidence. If you have a return that requires more knowledge, for example if you have investments or numerous income sources or deductions, if you are filing taxes for a business, or if you have overdue tax returns, you would be smart to consider enlisting the help of a professional tax firm.

Some common problems with taxes becoming an issue include overdue returns, unclaimed income, battling an unfair assessment and tax evasion. Tax evasion occurs when a person or business does not disclose all of their information on their tax returns, whether knowingly or by mistake. If this happens to you, you may typically be faced with substantial penalties and criminal charges if you don’t take immediate steps to inform yourself and proceed properly. When individuals and businesses evade taxes in Canada and are convicted, these convictions are made public by the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency). They alert the media regarding the court cases of corporations, people, and trusts that were convicted in the courts for failing to file income tax returns at the required time or for evading taxes.
If you are facing one or more overdue tax returns, consulting a tax firm professional can really put your mind at ease. Often you have just been forgetful or disorganized, resulting in being delinquent in your taxes. You don’t have to spend time worrying about this. Get in touch with an established tax preparation service and they will give you step-by-step instructions on how to get caught up and stay compliant so that you need not worry about any negative repercussions. If you address your issues with income tax filing right away you have less to stress about; procrastination is often the biggest enemy of people who find themselves in trouble. Often, even just making the first move to working out your tax issues makes you feel better and starts the ball rolling on the road to having everything resolved. With the right steps in place, next year you will be able to approach the tax season with a more positive outlook.
