I'm curious to get some input and tips on how you guys find ways to mitigate or lessen your taxes.

Married, one young daughter in day care (stated this year). I make good money.

I take advantage of the RRSP matching program and typically every year my goal is to top up my RRSP contributions to the point I don't pay taxes. Enough to get a couple hundred back to be safe.


I have investments but no sales that would trigger any capital gains, just dividend payouts etc. Nothing crazy.

Wife works, good money. I have her to at least the same with RRSP so she doesn't pay. She does a little more.

What can be done, claimed to help with taxes? Anything? We'll start getting some more child benefits this year?

I've done my own taxes are years now, is a tax accountant really worth it? Are they going to help enough to justify the cost?
