@Canadian Capitalist – It seems more trouble then its worth. I would thin that the software makers would do a better job explaining some of those nuances in the tax law. I’m sure plenty of people are filing incorrectly because of the information (or a lack thereof) provided on the various tax software sites.

Thanks for the mention. I’ve done my taxes for over 10 years now and it was easy enough in the early years. A T4, some RRSP contributions, some charity donations and voila! I was done. Now, it is becoming a pain in the butt figuring out all the nuances. No wonder there are full time professionals who do nothing but taxes for clients. It is a full time job keeping up with all that CRA throws at us.
