As a Landlord in Canada, it's important to file your taxes accurately and on time. Here are five tips to help you with the process:
Filing properly and maximize your returns has many long term benefits.
- Keep accurate records: It's important for landlords to keep accurate records of all rental income and expenses throughout the year. This will make it easier to file your taxes and ensure that you claim all the deductions you're entitled to.
- Claim all eligible expenses: Landlords can deduct a wide range of expenses related to their rental properties, such as mortgage interest, property taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management fees, and insurance. Make sure you claim all the expenses you're eligible for.
- Report rental income and expenses on your tax return: Landlords must report rental income and expenses on their personal tax return using Form T776, Statement of Real Estate Rentals. Be sure to report all rental income, even if it was received in cash, and claim all eligible expenses.
- Understand capital cost allowance (CCA): CCA is a tax deduction that allows landlords to recover the cost of their rental property over time. It's important to understand how CCA works and to keep accurate records of your property's cost and value over time.
- Consider using a tax professional: Filing taxes as a landlord can be complex, especially if you have multiple properties or other sources of income. Consider using a tax professional to help you file your taxes and ensure that you're claiming all the deductions you're entitled to.
