Canadian Income Tax Basics

To file your taxes, you need an income tax package for the province in which you lived on December 31 of the previous year. The package includes a return (form), federal tax worksheet, schedules (more forms), a provincial or territory tax worksheet and an information guide.

If you filed a Canadian income tax return last year, you probably received an income tax package in the mail in January.
