can 2008 tax return be filed now?
 

this is for a friend who came to canada in mid 08, on working visa, went to school, full-time for a while and started to work on Dec 08
didn't file tax in 09, he's wondering if he can file 2008 tax return now and or if there is any money he could get back

Yes he can, but he will have to mail it in.

so he can use 2008 package and mail it in, just like 2009?
thank you

if he only worked less then a month I doubt he'll get much if anything back. however he should be able to bank the school cost money and use it towards next year.

Yes he can just use the 2008 package and mail it in, I helped my friend file her 2008 and 2009 tax return a few months ago and she got the full 2008 refund back recently.

You can do em for as many years as you want (typically 3). Over 3years ago, you simply need to write a letter to tax-payer relief stating reasons why. I just redid 10years worth and got a nice lil cheque from cra. Takes a hell of a long time though. About 6months.

sorry for stealing your thread, but its almost the same topic.


If i never recieved my tax returns, do I have to call service canada? or contact my accountant my parents used?
