Taxable Benefit for Motor Vehicles Which Are Not Automobiles
Some vehicles, such as certain pickup trucks, do not fit the definition of an automobile (passenger vehicle).

If you are an employee, part or all of these premiums are often deducted from your pay. Make sure you include them when calculating your total medical expenses.
Superficial Losses
Losses on shares and other capital property may be considered superficial losses and disallowed if they are repurchased within 30 days by the taxpayer or persons affiliated with the taxpayer, which includes the spouse, or an RRSP, TFSA, or RRIF of which the taxpayer or the taxpayer's spouse is the beneficiary. However, this rule can also create the transfer of a capital loss from a taxpayer to the taxpayer's spouse.
Canadian Tax Calculator Updates
We have added the disability tax credit and public transit tax credit to the tax calculator, as well as the option of choosing whether the taxpayer or the spouse claims any dependent children. Previously, the calculator would have the dependent children claimed by the lower income spouse, and any unused amount was transferred to the higher income spouse. This worked in most situations, but there were cases where the claim for dependents was not properly utilized. We have also added comments that appear when the user hovers over certain input fields, to provide explanations for those items.
