Smart Tax Tips
Now that January 1st has just passed, we need to start thinking very carefully about tax planning.
While cleaning out my apartment last night, I came across a tax book from Grant Thornton titled 'Smart Tax Tips'. Although it was written in 2004, much of the information in the book is still relevant. It serves as a good starting reference whether you are married, have a business, etc.
For those that don't want to purchase a new book for 2006, the firm has graciously put up a page with updated smart tax tips.
For those of you that file electronically, what software do you use? I used a free software last year that was really awful. They appear to have gone out of business and are not updating their software for 2006. I might give QuickTaxWeb a try as it appears to be on sale ($5 off! at the moment).

if you are doing a 2007 review, could you include the platform in your chart as well (eg. web/windows/mac)? That would help out the growing Macintosh community!
CRA will likely update the page for 2006 filing by the end of February.
If you've not using a web application, my only other suggestion would be to try the beta for Bootcamp http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
good luck
I would suggest to wait a little bit and check for links via websites of the big banks. They offer discounts if you click thru via a partner site.
