How it works
- Get a free estimate. Answer a few simple questions on our free estimate tool. It is fast and hassle-free, and there is no charge to get an estimate.
- Authorize us with the CRA. To prepare and file your return, the CRA requires you to authorize us as your representative (Level 2). If you have CRA My Account, follow our guide: Authorize a representative with CRA My Account. If you do not have My Account, or it is your first year filing, use: Authorize a representative without CRA My Account. We prepare an authorization letter that you e-sign.

- We prepare your return. We review everything, ask any follow-up questions, and explain the outcome to you.
- Review and file. Once you approve, we file your return with the CRA. You may revoke our authorization at any time after your return is completed.

When is the deadline to file a personal tax return in Canada?
For most individuals, the T1 return and any balance owing are due by April 30 of the year after the tax year. If you or your spouse or common-law partner are self-employed, the filing deadline is June 15, but any balance owing is still due by April 30.
