The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Alberta provides RRSP and tax tips on an annual basis as a public service. The tips are intended to be used as general guidance. For specific advice about filing your 2012 tax return, please consult with the Canada Revenue Agency or your personal tax professional.

Note to Editors: These tips are useful for preparing RRSP and tax articles leading up to the respective annual contribution and filing deadlines. The ICAA provides these tips as a free service to the public, but appreciates an acknowledgement for the "Chartered Accountants of Alberta" when the information is used.
