THIS IS A SPONSORED POST BY H&R BLOCK CANADA
Hey Prepsters,
It’s that time of the year again, the dreaded tax-filing season! But, I’ve partnered with H&R Block and am sharing my personal experience, as well as a few neat features & an amazing 20% off coupon code!
My Experience
A few days ago, I stopped by my local H&R Block (Dundas Street in Oakville) to file my taxes. This is now my fourth year of filing with H&R Block and I absolutely love the experience, because it is quick and painless! I have always been the type of person who gets anxious about anything related to taxes, but I find it relieving when I get it done. If you remember my post during tax season from last year, you may remember that I had a little bit of a panic attack because I lost one of my T4’s. But luckily, H&R Block used the CRA system and found it -Phew! But this time I was well prepared and was more on top of it!
Some of you may know that I’m entering a new chapter in my life! I recently completed my studies and started working for a marketing firm, and I want to launch a business as well. So, I definitely had a ton of questions in regards to my filings for next year as well. What I loved was that the H&R Block associate didn’t mind taking some extra time to educate myself (and trust me I had a ton of questions) on what I will need to know for my next tax prep as well.
