It happens every spring. You might not want to, but you have to file your income taxes. Collect your documents, file through an accountant or online platform, and through some magical math you'll discover your fate: payment or refund.
If income taxes seem like a mysterious government equation, this episode is for you. Andrew Bauer (BA '03, MAcc '03, PhD '12) is a Canada Research Chair in Taxation, Governance and Risk. He's also an associate professor in Waterloo's School of Accounting and Finance, where he researches corporate tax and teaches courses in taxation and personal finance. He joins the podcast to tell us why we need to file our income taxes, the factors that could reduce the money you owe, and why you might not want a refund.
