Tax Checksbenefits
I didn't file because I earned little - was that a mistake?
Non-filing issues usually surface years later.
Is this you?
- I earned low income and skipped filing
- Taxes may have been deducted from my pay
- I assumed filing wouldn't change anything
"If I didn't owe tax, filing doesn't matter."
Filing history affects refunds, credits, and benefit calculations long after the year ends.
Why guessing is risky
- Refunds can expire if returns aren't filed
- Benefits may be delayed or clawed back later
- Multiple unfiled years compound complexity
Safe to ignore if
- I truly had no income and no deductions or benefits
- I already confirmed I'm fully up to date
Stop and check if
- I had taxes deducted on a T4
- I received or expect income-tested benefits
