Season 2, Episode 12

That’s right folks: it is tax time in Canada. Join Melanie Taddeo in this installment of A Melanie Minute to hear her advice, based on her experiences as someone with a disability who, like everyone else, has to file her income tax return every year.

Preparing a tax return typically doesn't rank high on the popularity ratings for most people. But, as Melanie points out, if you do it right -- with the proper technical advice -- the end result can be surprisingly welcome.

Learn about the advantages of keeping your records and paperwork organized, and, for anyone with a disability, what you should be aware of during income tax season. Above all, make sure you file your returns by the deadline, which is April 30 for most people.

The content in this episode is not to be construed as legal or technical advice, but to share experiences on how to avail oneself of certain benefits, credits and deductions for people with disabilities in Canada.

A Melanie Minute is a special segment we produce regularly – or, pretty much whenever Connect 4 Life’s Founder, Melanie Taddeo, has something meaningful to share with our listeners.

Similar to an audio blog, A Melanie Minute might actually be a minute in length, or it might be 8 or 10 minutes. Each segment focuses on a special message, an important issue of the day, or something Melanie feels is worth talking about and engaging listeners.
