I got my T4 today and thought that I would be a responsible tax payer and start on my return via H&R Block Online.
Early bird gets the worm right? Plus, a few extra bucks in my pocket would be nice and I could used the refund to pay a bill or two.
LOL - Who am I kidding? I’ll be luck to buy a coffee with my return.
ANYWHOO ... I have filed my returns using the H&R Online system for the last 5 years and so far have never had an issue … until tonight.
When going through and answering all the interview questions, I got to the part on marital status changes in 2008. I answered honestly, stating that my status change was “Separated and then divorced”.
I proceeded to fill in the rest of the form and even get so far as to see what my return would be (what a cruel joke that was) and then BAM! ERRORS in the system.
Ok, no biggie. I’ll just go back and fix them … right?
NOT so.
For some reason, the ‘effing CCRA seems to think that I:
A) keep in touch with my ex and therefor;
B) know what his address for 2008 was; and
C) know what his annual earning for 2008 were.
WTF!
Why on earth should I be required to know these details, let alone relay them to the CCRA?
This person has NOTHING to do with my life, has not been in anyway a part of my life for over 3 years, and as of March 3, 2008 was no longer in anyway legally bound to me.
I’ll be dammed if they think that I am going to try to contact my ex to gather these details.
I don’t know how to describe how pissed off I am at this. This weekend I am taking my papers into an H&R Block to get this nonsense sorted out.
In closing – THIS IS BULLSHIT

HA! Stick it to the man Erin! I can't stand paying taxes! In our original constitution for Canada it states that it is illegal to pay taxes! Courtesy of the Zeitgeist Movie!
