FAQ
Quick Answers
Do I need to file if I'm a student with no income?
Yes — and you should! Filing activates your GST/HST credit (up to $519/year), builds RRSP contribution room, and allows you to carry forward tuition credits. It takes minutes and could mean hundreds of dollars in your pocket.
How fast will I get my refund?
Once we e-file, the CRA typically processes returns within 1-2 weeks for direct deposit. Paper cheques take longer — we strongly recommend setting up direct deposit.
What if I'm on EI or receiving benefits?
EI payments are taxable income and must be reported. We'll include your T4E slip and ensure your return is filed correctly. Filing also keeps your GST credit, CCB, and other benefits active.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about filing with Maple Leaf Tax.
Do I need to file if I'm a student with no income?
Absolutely. Filing activates your GST/HST credit (up to $519/year), climate action incentive, and grocery rebate. It also carries forward your tuition credits and builds RRSP room. You're leaving free money on the table if you don't file.
How fast do I get my refund?
With e-filing and direct deposit, the CRA typically processes refunds within 1-2 weeks. Paper cheques take 4-6 weeks. We always e-file and strongly recommend setting up direct deposit.
What if I'm on EI or receiving government benefits?
EI payments are taxable and reported on a T4E slip. We include this in your return and make sure you're not overpaying. Filing also keeps your GST credit, CCB, and other benefits active — stop filing and they stop paying.
I do Uber/DoorDash/freelance work. Which plan?
The Contractor plan ($149). Any income where you don't receive a T4 is self-employment income. We report your gross income, deduct eligible expenses (car, phone, supplies, home office), and calculate your CPP self-employed contribution.
What slips do I need?
Depends on your situation. Common ones: T4 (employment), T4E (EI), T4A (scholarships/pensions), T5 (investments), T2202 (tuition), RRSP receipts, medical receipts, donation receipts. If you're not sure, don't worry — after you submit our intake form, we generate a personalized document checklist PDF listing exactly what you need to send us.
Can I file for previous years?
Yes. We can file for any of the past 10 tax years. Prior-year returns are $39/year on top of your plan price. This is especially important if you missed years and want to claim GST credits and CCB retroactively.
When do I pay?
After we prepare your return, we send it for your review along with a secure payment link. You pay only after you've seen and approved your return — process it via credit or debit card. No payment upfront.
Is my information safe?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We are bound by Canadian privacy law and professional confidentiality standards. We never share your information with third parties.
Can you file for my spouse / partner too?
Yes! We offer a couple discount on the Standard plan — $149 for both returns (instead of $89 × 2 = $178). Filing together also lets us optimize spousal credits and CCB calculations.
