Tax season doesn’t have to be a stressful experience. With the right support and guidance, filing your T1 General Income Tax and Benefit Return can be simple, efficient, and even rewarding. At Go-Get, we help individuals and businesses across Saskatchewan file their taxes accurately and on time, while ensuring they get every credit and deduction they deserve.
Whether this is your first time filing, you’re correcting a past return, or you want to make sure you’re getting the biggest refund possible, we’re here to support you – every step of the way.
What is the T1 General Return?
The T1 General is the standard personal income tax return used by individuals in Canada to report income, claim deductions, and calculate what they owe (or are owed). Filing it properly determines not just your tax bill, but your eligibility for key government benefits such as:
-
Canada Child Benefit (CCB)
-
GST/HST Credits
-
Provincial tax benefits and more
When filed correctly, the T1 ensures you stay compliant with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and unlock your full financial entitlements.
Key Parts of the T1 General Filing Process
Here’s a breakdown of what goes into filing your T1 General and where Go-Get steps in to help.
1. Income Reporting
You need to report all income sources from the year, including:
-
T4 (employment income)
-
Self-employment or freelance earnings
-
Investment income (T5)
-
Rental income
-
Government benefits like EI, CERB, or CRB
Missing any of these could lead to CRA issues. At Go-Get, we’ll help ensure nothing gets left out.
2. Claiming Deductions
Deductions reduce your taxable income. Some of the most common include:
-
RRSP contributions
-
Childcare or dependent care expenses
-
Medical expenses
-
Moving costs (if eligible)
-
Professional or union dues
Go-Get make sure you get every deduction you’re eligible for, helping you keep more money in your pocket.
3. Using Tax Credits
There are two types: non-refundable (reduce taxes owed) and refundable (could lead to a refund).
Some common credits include:
-
Disability Tax Credit (DTC)
-
Canada Workers Benefit (CWB)
-
Tuition, education, and textbook credits
-
Charitable donations
We review your situation to make sure nothing’s overlooked.
4. Making Adjustments to Past Returns
If you missed income, deductions, or made mistakes on a previous return, we’ll help you correct them through the T1 Adjustment process. No stress—we take care of it all, including CRA correspondence.
5. Notice of Assessment (NOA)
Once you file, CRA issues a Notice of Assessment, which confirms your tax status:
-
You owe taxes
-
You’re getting a refund
-
Or CRA is requesting adjustments
We help you interpret your NOA and respond appropriately if anything looks off.
