Even if you have no income, there are actually several benefits available to those who file zero income tax returns:

If you have no income to report, you can file a zero-income return. You can still benefit from filing a zero-income tax return. 

You may qualify for federal or provincial credits or benefits such as:

  • The Goods and Services Tax or Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST Credit)
  • The Canada Child Benefit (CCB)
  • The Ontario Trillium Benefit (OTB)     

If you attended school and have eligible tuition fees, you must file a return to claim any credits for use now or in the future.

 

For more information, please see our TurboTax FAQ. How do I file a zero-income tax return?
