What would you do with this calculator? Well the kind folks who sent me it gave me the following statement about it:

Tax season is approaching and many Canadians are no doubt dreading the deed. While the first three steps to get through the process of filing an income tax return are simple enough, the fourth one can be a doozy.

Step 1: Determine your Canadian residency status – CHECK!
Step 2: Obtain your Canadian T4 form – CHECK!
Step 3: Obtain the income tax forms – CHECK!
Step 4: Completing your fax forms…check?

Best be sure you have a trusty calculator on hand. Sharp’s EL738F financial calculator, along with a large cup o’ Joe, will help you weather the storm and get those taxes filed on time.  Offering general, financial, scientific and statistical calculations, you’ll get a clear answer on Sharp’s latest calculator.
