If you pay taxes in Canada, and someone in your family has a disability, then you can probably benefit from some disability tax tips.
There are a number of tax credits and deductions that are available to people with disabilities and their caregivers, and it is very much worth your while to take advantage of everything you qualify for.
Unfortunately, figuring out what that is can be a daunting task.
But, take heart, someone has gone to the trouble of preparing a guide through "the maze that is Income Tax Preparation and Planning for people with a disability and their families."
The guide was written by Graeme Treeby of The Special Needs Planning Group and edited by Douglas Cronin, Certified General Accountant, and it's available to you for free!
