    I don't believe that is a requirement.
    It makes it easier for sure.
    It's been a while for me so things may have changed.

    I believe you'll need it if you get audited. I always get one every year.

    You might want to have a tax pro that deals with trucking (NOT H & R Block..heads :p) do your taxes this year, precisely because they'll know exactly what the regulations regarding meal claims are.

    I swear the CRA/government changes the regulations every year just to screw with people that prepare their own tax returns.......:confused::confused:

    Not needed if your return is simple. The home tax software is easy and accurate.

    Standard Turbo Tax is fine.
