What can I claim in my T4?

[dennizgb]

Hi..

I was searching google but i didnt find answer. Does anyone know what I can claim in my T4?

Last year my gf and I we move in to apartment. We didnt had anything so we bought pretty much everything, spend more than 2000. We also bought the car at the end of the year.
Can we claim any of this things or no?

Cause I remember last year guy asked me if I have any bills of ETS or clinic, dental, so I m not sure if I can claim all this things, cause its a lot?

You can't claim your furniture and you can't claim your car.

You can claim dental bills and medical bills not covered by health insurance. You can claim charitable donations. You can claim day care and certain education expenses. There are many other things you can also claim or might be able to claim. Start researching here: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/menu-eng.html

The link below is also really useful in describing what one can and cannot claim.

Keep in mind that when claiming something, keep those receipts/supporting documentation handy!

You can claim some courses but not others. You'll have to do some research to see if your course qualifies. Your school may be able to answer this question.
