Hey sparrow check here for FREE tax programs http://www.netfile.gc.ca/sftwr-eng.html

I recommend using Studio Tax it's free and can do up to 20 separate individual tax returns so you can do your neighbours tax returns if you like. It is very easy to use and has everything you will need ie T4, T4a, T5 only form it does not support is Form T1273 -AgriStability / AgriInvest Programsand. They even have programs that can calculate returns back to 2004. The program will even suggest tax savings even gives you helpful tax tips along with auto checking calculations. "it's all that and a bag of chips". link to program is here http://www.studiotax.com/en/?page=2

I have decided that I am going to submit my T1198 with my income tax return and deal with what happens as a result of it.

We will purchase it in cd form and at least the kids can use it as well so not a waste of money. I will let you know how it works out.

I tried to use the turbo tax premiere on line to pre-do my taxes. You do have to pay for this edition though. Good luck to you.

good job sparrow as far as I remember the intermediate will do a t-5 but no worries as this info is printed on the outside of the box so that should make it easy when you go to purchase one. also they all have websites that will give even more detailed info on their products.

No problem Sapper   I want to do my taxes in advance of my tax accountant appointment so that I can get an idea what is coming! If anyone has used a computer tax program did you use the intermediate or premier turbo tax program as I assume the basic program is too simplified. Because of the T5 I was wondering if intermediate program would suffice. Thanks everyone.

Excellent due diligence my Sparrow!! You always seem to get the answers for us. Glad to have you back.

Just got off the phone with Manulife. It was explained that second T1198 was issued for the 2012 monies for benefits that was held in trust by Manulife until the decision about legal fees being deducted or not being deducted was decided upon at such time it was released in  2013. So that second T1198 in my case and maybe Puddleduks was for the 4 months owing. This is all so confusing for me. Monday I go to specialist to get taxes done.

Interestingly confusing!?

I posted previously that I had received two separate T1198's as well. Both with different numbers. Received one lump payment not two.

puddle that's really odd did you have another lump sum payment ore did they send you two by mistake? if they sent you two by mistake they would look exactly the same.

This may come as a complete shock puddle but the cra occaisionaly makes mistakes
