How do you file tax refunds for international students?

[Elaine83]

Confused! ??? How do you really file this stuff? I dont want to go somewhere else and pay like $30 or more just to file for it cause I think these things should be easy, but when I went to the website of Canada Revenue Agency its kinda confusing. I paid my tuition fee last year and got my T220A from Humber College (shows 1 sem only I dunno why). I have my SIN as well but problem is I only worked January of this year. They said it would be best to file it eventhough you dont have an income for 2011. I have my receipts, books, TTC bus pass and stuff. any advise? (tax refunds/ credits/ GSTS

Elaine, go to an accountant and they will charge $25 to $30 maximum. It is not that complicated to file tax yourself, though for first time, I will reocmmend to go to accountant simply because there might be few things you may clain as tax credit which you may not know..

rest up to you.
