April is the dreaded taxxxxxxx season. Cue the horror music, because for many of us, tax time feels like walking through a haunted house blindfolded. Spooky, stressful, and full of surprises.

But here’s the thing—keeping good track of your receipts throughout the year can turn that terrifying experience into a triumphant one. By collecting and categorizing your expenses properly, you can boost your tax refund and set yourself up for better returns in the future.

Start With Your Medical Expenses 🩺

Let’s talk about a category that often gets overlooked—medical expenses. Many of us pay out-of-pocket for services that aren’t fully covered by insurance. Think:

• Chiropractor visits
• Dental work
• Physiotherapy
• Massage therapy
• Psychologist or counselling sessions
• Vision care
• Prescriptions and more

If these aren’t fully reimbursed by your benefits provider, they can often be claimed on your tax return. But only if you’ve tracked them!

It Pays to Pay Attention

The time and care it takes to track your expenses throughout the year has a financial reward—it directly impacts your refund. The more organized your records are, the easier it becomes to claim what’s yours come tax time. It’s not just about avoiding audits or staying compliant—it’s about maximizing your return.
