  • Floods: Does your insurance cover the damage?

    Some losses caused by water, such as floods, might not be covered by your home insurance policy. Take a moment to check your contract and the options offered in the event of a loss.

    By investing your refund, you can benefit from a tax-sheltered savings vehicle and maximize your tax advantages. It’s a clever idea for moving your short- or long-term projects forward.
