How to File Taxes in Canada - TurboTax Self-Employed Tutorial

Can a person just use the "standard" version to do a simple self employed personal name and home office. I understand it has all the forms needed, so wondering how it is different than self employed. My friend said you could but you have less returns in the total price. Thanks in advance

I loved this video. Too bad I arrived late, and your checklist is no longer free.

glad I re-watched this video, I was thinking I could go into an HR block office, but happy Turbo Tax has a self-serve option. That I can stay home and get my taxes done for almost the same price. 🤣

Can your write off if you are employed and working 100% from home? Such as internet bill, electricity, etc?
Please help. Thank you

Do you pay quarterly taxes/ instalments in Ontario as a self employed individual? TIA

Hi Jessica,
Thank you for your video, it is really helpful. I just have a quick question. I was a independent contractor back in 2019, however not the same in 2020. If I want to file corporation tax return for 2020, can i use the Turbo tax self employed option? I am asking this as I started filing it wathing your video, but it asked me about T4, RRSP and other items, nothing about T2. Though I was employed in 2020, my personal taxes are completed, I just want to file a nil return for my corporation.

Thanks!

it was just last year that turbo tax was free for individuals that are self employed, now it cost $45... Do know of any free self employed software or services?

If I'm self-employed under my name do I still need a business license?

I filed taxes jointly with my spouse (regular T4 and typical deductions like childcare and donations). Instead of creating a totally separate profile for Incorporation, can I just do it with the same login profile and file an adjustment?

Jessica, great video. Thanks a lot. As for meal expenses, I know you can deduct meal expenses with clients, but can you deduct meal expenses with employees (e.g., not a party, just a lunch with an employee discussing business)?

Howdy, Thanks for this, I feel empowered to do my self employment taxes on my own this year. Do you have a discount code for 2022?

If you are a sole proprietor and it's your only income do you do self employment tax form as well as a personal too?

Hi Jessica, can you do an updated video for this year for people that work a job and also have a sole proprietorship business?

Thanks for this video! Was wondering if I were using my vehicle for business/ personal use should I keep all my gas receipts?

So does the walk through you did for us include the filing of just your personal taxes as self-employed or is it BOTH the personal and GST/HST filing you'd have to do??

Not helpful at all..

Thanks for the tax tips. Your video quality is so good! what camera do you use? 😊

Thank you Jessica for the helpful video and the 20% off link. I am employed for 8 months and contractor for 4 months for different companies, do I have to file tax as self-employment?

Hi Jessica, very helpful video! I have a business number, when or where would I put that in? Thank you!

Dear Jessica, I'm a french speaker, newcomer in Canada. Thank you so much. I really like your explanation, it's very clear and comprehensible for someone non native english speaker like me.

Why track your fuel when you can easily ballpark it

Hi Jessica! I am a sole proprietor and I have Intuit's Quickbooks to manage my business' account. Is the information you provide in this video also applicable for QB? I'm feeling a bit lost so any advice would be helpful :) Thank you!

Hey Jessica loved the tax episode on your podcast this week. One new benefit I’m not sure you and Susan talked about was the Canadian Training Credit. It’s a $250 credit with a lifetime benefit of $5000. I did a super quick video on it. Definitely take advantage of that credit as well! Keep up the great work ☺️

If I made income with Uber and Doordash, do I have to complete two separate T2125 forms?

What is a t1 general for self employed

Thanks for sharing the details as well as the link for 20% :) I will probably be using TurboTax again this year. However, I wonder in case you know if they can assist with income from a US company like A Medium Corporation? Thanks

Awesome video and great information. What software do you use to make these videos?

I like the way you explain, thank you

How do we use your TurboTax link? It is going to the Tax Prep checklist. Thank you!!

I’m so happy you made this video! I was looking into the DIY self/employed but didn’t sign up because I thought I would have to pay first! I’m so happy I can go into and play around with it first before paying. Do you think the DIY + assist version is similar to the self-employed DIY but just with the option to talk to someone?

Do you still recommend Cloudtax since your blog post?
