Presentation
summary provided by Ted Clarke:
I will start by asking how many
MUGS members propose to tackle their
own income tax on their Macintoshes. I will emphasize that this is a
highly feasible process, which can even be enjoyable. If, for
example,
you have managed to navigate EBay successfully, you certainly can
easily do your own Canadian income taxes, saving dozens or even
hundreds of dollars in the process, relative to returns prepared by HR
Block or a Chartered Accountant.
I will briefly discuss the
history of Canadian income tax software for
Macintosh (over the past 25 years!); and will then mention the major
tax software optionscurrently available -- as approved by the CRA --
for preparing your 2009 income tax on a Macintosh, discussing the
advantages and disadvantages of all those taxation software packages of
which I am aware.
I will then walk the audience
through the preparation of one's 2009 tax
return on a Macintosh using my favourite tax software (UFile online).
Approximately 55 slides are involved. I have devised and registered a
mythical family for this demonstration purpose.
I will then go on line (if WiFi
is available at the March meeting) so
as to be in the best possible position to answer any further
questions
proactively.
I would be happy to tackle any
questions you might have at this time.
