[red2000]

Who else didn't get $400 cheque? I called them (waited for 10min before someone pciked up the phone...) and they told me they don't have my tax file from last year...(I was like ..WTF....) they transfered me to another department...but no one answer...anyone else has this problem? what should I do now ?

[shawtie]

try again..??:dunno:

[snowboard]

i think you have to file your taxxes man?
i dunno i didnt get mine either haha

[Tomaz]

Try, Try again? :dunno: Maybe they stepped out of the office? Call up again. Did you file your taxes last year?

[red2000]

I did file my taxs online last year...

[Zero102]

I didn't get my cheque yet either, but I haven't filed 04 taxes yet. I was waiting for my 05's, just to file them together. Earned $0 in 04, and only had tuition to declare, so no point. Nothing to get back, so no point to file, until these cheques came out... :)

[Rockski]

i havent gotten mine, but thats because i havent been getting a gst cheque since october, so they though i moved out of the province and didnt issue me one

[2000_SI]

My sister didnt get her's, and he filed her taxes and everything last year....so who knows...

[rahim]

if you filed after sept 1, 2005 you get your cheque in march

I think there is a law that you have to file every year even if you didn't make any money. But I could be wrong.

[Das_Amaretto]

U can file your 04 taxes anytime up until the end of 06 and you will get your $400 plus all the gst cheques owed to you :thumbsup:

You don't have to file every year. I remember watching CBC and there's this couple that havn't file for 5years. They finally did it and got $2000 back.

But what you have to be careful when you don't file. If Revenue Canada decided you owe them back taxes, you'll be fined and have to pay back the taxes + interests.

I havent got the prosperity cheque or any of the gst cheques either, the only thing I have gotten is the thing that tells me that I WILL get the gst cheques. Try calling both gst office and the number for prosperity cheques and they are always busy...anyone gotten through?:dunno: :thumbsdow

[benyl]

^^^ that is another reason to file if you don't make any money. GST rebate cheques.

When my fiance and I went to do taxes, on paper she made nothing in 2005, but she still had to file anyways, only cost $35, also because our address is the same we have no choice but to file common law,so if she wasn't there to file, I wouldn't be able to file either, plus we got back $1700, so it is worth it to declare your bf/gf on your taxes if you live together. I read in the paper that if you did your taxes after September 05 you won't get your cheque until March,the lady at the bank said many of the employees there haven't received theirs yet either.

[Zero102]

If you owe them money, you have to pay something like 2%/month that you're late. I mostly completed them, found a $0 balance and decided to just hang on to them. Forgot about the GST cheques, which I have most certainly missed the last year. But, on the up side, I get the $400 cheque, and $280 in GST cheques + this year's refund... That will be nice.

yea, I have filed it ... that is why I am wondering

[88CRXGUY]

If you didn't get your checks it probably went to one of those people in Manibtoia and Ontario that got them. Its true the news says that some people in 2 other provinces got them.

[pulse_crx]

I havent got mine yet, but It was because I changed address, and had to confirm that It was me. So pretty much, i wont see it for another couple weeks. They need my signature mailed before they can send it out.

Good stuff :clap:

***PS. Does anyone know simply what line 150 is?
I have tuition that i paid
+ 3 seperate employers
^^ employment upto dec 31, 05 included?

[realazy]

also, I was wondering if I had to file taxes for 2004 to get the cheque if was was under 18 during that time. I just turned 18 Oct 05 and havent had any income. I know people under 18 get their cheques with their mom, but since i turned 18 during october 2005, i think something may have been messed up. Any info regarding this?

[FiveFreshFish]

I got mine. Just haven't cashed it yet.

[Lo)2enz0]

alright, i didn't get mine either but did not do my taxes for 2004. but i talked to the people and they told me how i can do it. but what i don't get is how we have to have our tax's filed to get money that was promised to us. like my mom is pissed cause she hasn't been working for years and she didn't get a cheque, and neither did my brother and they are both pissed cause why would a child recieve the money when people over the age of 18 have to file there tax's. All i had to do was mail my tax's in too.

well personally i am pissed i didn't get mine, probably just because i could use the money and almost everyone i know got there's

[lastprodigy]

try calling the number or even revnue canada got gst and busy all the time :thumbsdow

[lastprodigy]

well apparently because they didnt have any address on file for me :confused: but revenue canada for the gst is busy non stop....


OT: does anyone know where I can find a breakdown of the tax brackets in Canada and their respective (%) dedcution?

[QuasarCav]

Just got through to the rebate #, Check has been mailed today.

Thanks Ralph, my new clutch/flywheel is just for you.

[Lo)2enz0]

ya when i called them they told me that i had to mail my social insurance number to winnepeg and request my 2004 t4. than after i file that, i have to wait for that to go through, than once that goes through i will get it. But at this point i just don't car because by the time i get it, i probably won't need it like how i do now.
