do i need to file taxes jointly with my girlfriend if we live together?

in ontario, common law marriage requires 3 years of cohabitation, and doesn't give rights to property (which remains separate). i'd say in your situation you can still file as single, but i'd suggest asking your tax accountant to be sure.
