我觉得值，20元对每个新移民来说也很值了，最起码3个小时的工白打了。而且这是每个人的权益，应该争取，否则会让很多人觉得新移民好欺负，这对我们很多后来的新移民会越来越不利。本来新移民来到这里，人生地不熟，就已经很难了，还要被这些黑心房东欺诈，不能让他们得逞。

Before you move in to a house (public apartment buldings managed by professional properties managment companies normally do not have this kind of problem.), make sure if the owner is willing to give you the receipt or not.

Sometimes we rent a room or a floor of a house from a private owner of the house is just because the rents are low compared with an apartment suite.

If one have ever filed a tax return form you posiblly would notice that the reduced tax from the land property tax or the rental cost is minimum (only 20% of the rents may be counted as land property tax, then may further increase your personal tax credit)

If one is doing low income job that gives you an income around personal income tax credit ($74xx/year) the rents receipt may help you to increase your tax credit amount.

If you already are earning a not-too-bad salary, say over $30000/year, then this receipt may never help you at all.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

我从去年到现在与人合租 apartment, 今年报税时房东说你不要报房租, 不然会算他们的收入. 我说不报房租那我说我住哪呀, 我坚持报了我出的房租数. 房东打工一月收入也就 1000多, 光房租就1100, 谁信呢.
我报房租支出退不了一分钱税, 只为事实求是地报税.
