(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 05/23/12 -- Did you know?
Even if you missed the April 30 filing deadline, there are still many reasons why you should file your 2011 income tax and benefit return as soon as possible.
Why is it important to file as soon as possible?

- You must file a return for 2011 if you want to begin or continue receiving certain benefit payments including the GST/HST credit and the Canada child tax benefit. If you do not file your tax return, your payments may stop.
- If you are expecting an income tax refund, you will only receive it once you file.

- If you discover that you missed something, like an investment slip you forgot about or a charitable donation you wanted to claim-or if you received a slip after you filed-you can ask for an adjustment online using the service.

- The CRA is aware that sometimes taxpayers face circumstances beyond their control that prevent them from meeting their tax obligations. When these circumstances arise, individuals may qualify for taxpayer relief. For more information, go to .
