I... Have no idea how to do any of this, my parents always took care of it until I moved out. What other forms are needed? I'd hate to go there and find out I'm missing something and have to come back later. Ugh.
I did something similar in my early 20's. They didn't say a word for 5 years, but on that 5th year they came down with a pretty big hammer. Get this taken care of now, trust me.

Either find your T4 slips or go to Revenue Canada and get them, since you will probably need to go there to get the tax booklets for those years anyway.) Just sit down and do the taxes. Unless you have some crazy complex tax situation, it is probably way easier to do that than to pay H&R Block.

As for how much it will cost you, if you are single and did not have any extra tax taken off by your employer, it probably won't be cheap, but it really depends on your income.
