While the April 30, 2021 deadline for individuals to file their 2020 tax return has come and gone, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) reminds Canadians that it s still possible to file a return, and that there are several good reasons to do so.
1. You may be eligible for a refund. This is only available by filing.
2. You may be eligible for benefits or credits payments. Filing a tax return will ensure that the CRA is using the most accurate information to calculate benefit and credit payments. You could be eligible for certain benefit and credit payments, such as the Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) credit, the Canada child benefit (CCB) or the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS). The longer you wait to file, the more likely it is that payments will be interrupted.

Anyone living in Saint John’s south central peninsula with a certain income can have their taxes prepared for free.
It’s part of the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program offered through organizations like P.U.L.S.E., also known as People United In The Lower South End.
Operations Manager Mary Lesage says the way they offer the service this year is a little different.
“With Covid, we just have people drop off their taxes and then we get them back to them in two to three business days,” Lesage said.
Lesage said they prepare about one thousand returns a year and most of the returns they prepare are for people with a simple tax situation.
