Ahh this wonderful time of year again...Taxes. I am a procrastinator ladies. Not my finest quality lol and honestly it gets me in so much trouble in so many areas of life that I am trying very hard to not do this anymore but baby steps right??
So here is my issue. I haven't filed my taxes for 2010 or 2011 and now obviously its time to do 2012 also. I got a letter yesterday with a 30 day demand to file my 2011 taxes. I called and CRA said it is a random computer generated letter but there is no chance of an extension so it has to be done. Even if I file 2011 and not 2010 just to meet their deadline and then when I file the rest they will make the adjustments on the tax bill owing. So heres my dilemma.
I emailed my accountant yesterday and he got back to me saying the firm is closing down in April of this year so they would not be able to file my tax returns for me. ARGHHHH If the idea of filing myself isn't bad enough, think about having 3 years to file and only 3 weeks left to do it is terrifying. What a problem I have created for myself.
I am struggling with making the choice of finding another accountant or filing myself. I could get another accountant who doesn't specialize in this field and lose out on lots of right offs etc But the prospect of doing it myself is very overwhelming.
I have seen info floating around previously on here but just can't seem to locate it. Isn't there a pretty in depth guide for home daycare providers on filing taxes?? Any info or advice people could give me would be greatly appreciated. I know what I will be doing for naptimes and evevings for the next couple of weeks .....:blink:
