Tax time can get confusing with all the various tax slips you get from your bank. It is sometimes hard to keep track of them all. You might be wondering what tax slips you should be expecting in the mail if you have an RRSP, before efiling online for the year.
1. Contribution Receipts – You will only get receipts if you made contributions.
If you made any contributions during 2010 or during the first 60 days of 2011, you will receive one or more contribution receipts from your financial institution. You would have already received the first 60 days of 2010 receipt in the spring of 2010 and you may have already claimed this on your 2009 taxes. However, you will want to watch out for the remainder of 2010 receipt (March 2nd to December 31st) as well as for the first 60 days of 2011 receipt (Jan 1st to March 1st).
