If you were charged HST from Jan to Dec then you put it in the HST taxable category. Do you use your cell phone for work 100% of the time? If you don't, I would caution against putting the full $1416. @Michael- I just took out your email address in your comment, I don’t think you’d want to be showing everyone your email address :)

I am a tour bus driver. Spend most of time away from home and the other veteran drivers claim all their cell phone expenses on their taxes. How is this done? I am doing my taxes and am at the employment expenses form and under the 'other' category and it has three spaces to enter digits in: 1. Gst taxable 2. HST Taxable 3. Zero Rated and Exempt What the heck am I supposed to write in those boxes if I am trying to claim the 1416.00 from January - December 2011? It was only used for work and the old retired drivers say they can claim it all. Question is about cell phone deducting.

So stay tuned! If I'm not mistaken, the medical bills have to be a certain amount, and I think $450 is too low. Have a look at the CRA website, it's a great resource for what you can and cannot claim. The forms can be picked up at the tax centre (or the libraries have them too). You can file it by hand and mail it in. Or you can do it online. @Anie- I will be posting a Tax filing software giveaway very soon! So stay tuned!

My husband and I both make around 37000$ each and we are contributing to both RRSP's and TFSA. I also have some dental bills (can I claim those? They are around 450$) I would like to file my taxes on my own and send them by Canada Post. Is there a link you can provide me to print and fill in all the appropriate forms I may need? Last year I filed with H&R block and he said I owe 80.00$ to the government..and on top of that I had to pay the rep 80.00$!!! Are there any tips you can provide me with so I could possibly get a refund this year??? Thanks in advance! I’m wanting to file my own taxes this year.

You can usually deduct the cost of the % of your cell phone bill you use for business. @Samantha- Yes, that is true.
