If you were required to pay trade union or professional organization dues, keep your receipts or proof of payment because they are deductible. With the exception of your T4 slip, do not include these receipts with your return. However, you should keep them in case Canada Revenue Agency asks to see them.

Look into deductions associated with your union and professional memberships for your 2007 return.
