Question: How do I file mine & my new PR husband’s taxes this year?

My husband just arrived in Canada as a new immigrant. We’ve been married since May 2006. He has received his SIN but has no employment or anything for taxes.
Also, this is the first year I have contributed to my RSP.
Maybe not, but I feel that our taxes are too complicated to do ourselves. Should we go to an accountant? Does anyone know of an accountant in Victoria, BC that specializes in new immigrants?
Thanks

Answer: As indicated above you will be allowed to claim your husband as a dependant in 2006 . He should also file a nil return to go on record as a BC resident for 2006. This may be of use later on when you go to calculate the number of years he was a resident for pension purposes.

There are two solutions to your problems with the complexity of the tax return. The first would be to look up the accounting associations in BC ( CA, CGA, etc) and see if they have a referral for an accountant that specializes in immigrants and/or speaks your language if that is a problem. This could be expensive. If you have minimal income the accounts sometimes have volunteer clinics.

The second alternative and the one I would reommend is to go out and by a tax package like quick tax or even search on line for one. These are very simple to use and in effect walks you through the process by asking questions.
