Ah, I see it is time for my annual apology to Locke for being so terrible at book-keeping.

In the wake of the current COVID-19 Pandemic CRA looks to extend the Tax-Filing Deadline to June 1st 2020.

Quote:
OTTAWA — Canadians will have one extra month to file their taxes to the Canada Revenue Agency, the National Post has learned.

The announcement will be made tomorrow by federal ministers as part of a larger series of financial measures to assist Canadian individuals and governments through the COVID-19 pandemic.

So instead of an April 30 filing deadline for the 2020 tax filing season, Canadians will have until June 1 to submit their income tax return to CRA. The deadline to pay off any outstanding balances interest-free will also be extended, this time to July 31.

Your Accountant will not thank anyone for this because believe it or not Tax Accountants do not stay awake at night dreaming of longer tax seasons, but we're all just doing the best we can in the time thats given to us.

I have always offered all of my clients the ability to complete their taxes remotely in any way their choosing.

Throughout my experience I have clients who have dropped their documents off at my office, submitted documents to me electronically and some that call me and hold their appointments with me over the phone.

I even have clients who have faxed me all of their information. You know who you are.

All Tax Appointments can be contactless if you so choose and I endeavour to do my best to serve my clients both for their taxes and their health especially under the current trying circumstances.

Do what the Government and good sense dictates and be smart with your risks and the risks you might unwittingly and unintentionally impose upon others who are more vulnerable.

Oh. And get your taxes done. That too. Its your money.

I am still working and doing taxes.

If you are sick please don't come to my office. In fact, dont leave your house. You dont have to and I can still do your taxes for you.

Stays the same at the moment, but payment deadline is moved from April 30th and pushed back to July 31st.

Oh my favourite thing!

Payment deadline extension
The CRA is extending the payment due date for current year individual, corporate, and trust income tax returns, including instalment payments, from September 1, 2020, to September 30, 2020. Penalties and interest will not be charged if payments are made by the extended deadline of September 30, 2020. This includes the late-filing penalty as long as the return is filed by September 30, 2020.
https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-age...vid-19-pa.html

As indicated, the Deadline has been extended an additional month to the end of September.

I want to say nice things about Locke, though I'm probably sure that he got tired of my stupid questions, when I was setting things up.

This gif has never been more relevant.

That was the single most brutal tax season I've ever endured in 18 years.

If I've missed you or anything, I sincerely apologize, but this....this was something else.

I empathize brother. Good seeing you, and I'll surely drag you to a Cavalry game when their season resumes.

Another ringing endorsement.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question Locke. My wife usually does our taxes, but she didn’t do our kid’s taxes for 2020 (for some reason).
The question is: can you submit two years of taxes at once or are two separate filings required?

I'm not going to get into a long rant, but basically everyone was expecting to be given more time.

And when I say everyone....I mean 'everyone.'

I understand that the Government couldnt and wouldnt do it. BUt they should have just said so in February. Slips came out late, people had no idea that they needed to claim their CERB, their emergency benefits came out in 2 different slips so some people missed them, banks werent filing investment slips....

Because everyone thought they had more time.

The problem is, I deal with people. Not giant corporations that than can afford penalties and interest and generally dont care, but actual humans. This is their money.

So it basically put a loaded gun to my head to get it all done while everyone around me waited until the very, very last minute.

It was unpleasant.

You absolutely can, that is no problem at all.

Fun fact: I've got 11 years of taxes sitting in shoeboxes in my other office.

That stack of taxes....it taunts me....it mocks me.

So yeah, 2 years is nothing. Dont wait much longer though because some Government benefits depend on that information and they dont always back-pay.
