We do recommend that you fill out the tax packages, including the checklist at the beginning. This will ensure that you provide all the information we need to prepare your tax return, and will also help minimize your accounting costs.
The cost of your return will depend on its complexity and time required to prepare it. To help minimize your accounting costs, we encourage you to fill in our tax packages, including expense sheets and worksheets where applicable.

Consolidate your information into as few files as possible and organize by type (e.g. income slips, donation receipts, medical receipts, childcare receipts, etc.)
Submit all documentation at the same time.

Please complete our tax package (there is a separate package for each type of return: individual, corporate, and US individual). Make sure to provide complete contact information.

Each tax package has a complete checklist which will help you determine exactly what types of information, documentations or slips you will need to submit. Examples include T-slips (T4s, T4As, T5s, etc), receipts for charitable donations, medical expenses, etc.

New clients, please include a copy of your previous year’s tax return (including all schedules), as well as our Privacy Package and Authorizing a Representative forms.

If we do not prepare your partner’s taxes, please also include a copy of their return. Please note that we strongly encourage couples (either married or common-law) to have both partners’ returns filed together.

As professional tax preparers, we are required to electronically file Canadian T1, T2 and GST/HST returns except in certain cases where CRA specifies paper-filing of a return. If you request a paper return, a surcharge will apply.

For US returns, we electronically file federal and state returns in most cases.
