1. Mark the Tax Deadline Early
One of the most common errors new taxpayers make is missing the filing deadline. This can lead to penalties or delayed refunds.
🗓 Tip: Check your country’s official tax agency website and mark the tax deadline on your calendar. Starting early gives you time to gather everything you need and avoid the last-minute rush.
2. Collect All Necessary Documents
Before you file, gather all essential documents, such as:
Income statements (T4, W-2, 1099, etc.)
Student loan or tuition receipts
Charitable donation receipts
Identification numbers (like SIN or SSN)
Organizing your documents in advance makes the process faster and smoother.
3. Understand Tax Deductions and Credits
Tax deductions and credits reduce how much you owe or increase your refund. As a first-time filer, you might qualify for:
Tuition and education credits
GST/HST credits (in Canada)
Medical expense deductions
Earned Income Tax Credit (in the U.S.)
Research the deductions and credits available in your country — it can save you hundreds of dollars.
4. Double-Check Your Information
Before submitting your tax return, carefully review every detail. Make sure:
Your name and ID numbers are accurate
You’ve entered your income correctly
Your bank account info is valid (for direct deposit)
Even small errors can cause delays or issues with your return.
