Filing Tip
Many investment slips (T3s and T5013s) are issued in late March. In most cases, it’s best to provide your tax documents to your accountant in early April to ensure all slips are included and avoid amended filings.
Reviewing your 2024 tax return can also help ensure nothing is missed for 2025.
