Maximize your deductions QuickTax Student helps you plan RRSP contributions year after year so you can make the most of your money. In fact, QuickTax Student can help you optimize all your common deductions.
RRSP TIP: Use the RRSP optimizing tool in QuickTax before the March 1, 2009 deadline for RRSP contributions, and see how different contribution amounts affect your refund. Then, contribute to your RRSP accordingly, and reap the tax benefits.
As you complete your return, QuickTax Student automatically updates & displays your refund or taxes due - so you can see how RRSP contributions & family tax deductions affect what you get back or what you owe. QuickTax Student even lets you try different tax scenarios to see the effect on your refund.
Within your QuickTax software, you can view a comprehensive list of deductions, with definitions of each deduction included. This feature lets you know if you qualify for a deduction... and what paperwork you'll need to claim it.
