We're halfway to the dreaded tax deadline and Portage la Prairie tax specialists are getting busier by the day. With April looming Karen Olafson of First Choice Income Tax has a few helpful hints. To ensure a smooth process Olafson says one thing people can watch for is their medical premiums, adding if they pay for Blue Cross or any other health benefits, their last pay stub is needed. Olafson notes another one to watch for is T3's, as companies have until the middle of March to get them out, and they can be a little slow in coming. She adds it's definitely getting busy and, as the deadline approaches, it can get tougher for accountants to get everyone done on time.
