April has arrived, and with it comes the looming deadline for tax returns for the fiscal year 2023. In this article, we’ll explore the various software options available for filing your tax returns independently.

Deadline

• April 30, Tuesday – This date marks the final opportunity for many Canadians to submit their tax returns. Filing before this deadline ensures timely receipt of refunds, benefits, or credits. To avoid penalties and interest, it’s crucial to settle any outstanding payments owed to the CRA by this date.
• June 17, Monday – Self-employed individuals, as well as their spouses or common-law partners, have until June 17, 2024, to file their tax returns. If the return is received or postmarked by this date, it is considered filed on time. However, it’s important to note that payments to the CRA must still be made by April 30, 2024, to prevent incurring interest.
