    i asked my mom, and she said don't risk it

    since they're just volunteering, which means they're in training, the $30 i save from not going to HR to get it done professionally, might cost me $100 lost in tax return lol.

    I've done that before and it worked out fine. As long as you meet the requirements, they just put in the #'s for you.

    This time around, I don't meet the requirement (due to co-op), so I'll have to use a program and file it online myself this year.

    lol. i live for danger.

    no i don't have one, and plus it says it's a service to all sfu students/faculty. seeing as this is a forum for sfu students, i don't see why I wouldn't able to disclose this information.

    also, they have this info on the BBA Student Portal:

    I like HR Block because they only charge a set fee for students (like $30) and they give you your cash right away so you can start spending it :)
