SERVICES FOR INDIVIDUALS

PERSONAL INCOME TAX RETURN PREPARATION

PERSONAL TAX PLANNING

GOVERNMENT CORRESPONDENCE & AUDIT

 

 


Whether you are a business client of ours or you simply need your personal taxes prepared we are here for you.

We will professionally and accurately prepare your individual T1 Federal Income Tax Return.  The return will be fully explained to you and you will receive a FULL copy of your return not just a couple of summary pages. 

Should you wish, and during applicable periods of the year and return status, we will Efile your return to Canada Revenue Agency at no cost to you.  This process speeds up your return, refund, and applicable credits and benefits to you.

All types of personal returns are prepared professionally by our office.  It does not matter if your return consists simply of a T4 or involves more complex tax transactions including capital gains, foreign income and treaty applications we can handle it.

When coming to our office for the first time for personal tax preparation call for a convenient appointment to review your tax needs and remember to bring the following:

  • Prior year returns (at least the immediate prior year) We will review the return at no charge to you.  There may also be pertinent information in the package needed to accurately prepare your current return
  • Your Notice of Assessment (NoA) from your last filing.  This is the paperwork you receive from Canada Revenue Agency which confirms the information in your tax return.  If you can not find your NoA you may obtain a copy by calling 1-800-959-8281 or you can go to MY ACCOUNT at the CRA website at www.cra.gc.ca.  Your Notice of Assessment will outline any changes to your filed return, provide carry-forward information, and details on any RRSP contributions, LLP balances, or HBP balances.
  • All information slips including T4, T4A, T4A(P), T5, T4RSP, etc.  Also bring all RRSP/RSP contribution slips, social benefits payment records.
  • Medical expenditure receipts.  Also ensure you inform us of any medical conditions existing in your immediate or extended family.  Such conditions can give rise to tax benefits and credits which can be extended to other family members.
  • Charitable Donation receipts
  • Tuition receipts T2202/TL11
  • Information for any applicable credits and benefits including property tax statements, rental payments, dependant information and documentation.
  • Should you have any foreign holdings which total $100,000 or more (Canadian) you will be required to disclose the applicable details
  • If you have any businesses including farming or rental income which is operated as a sole proprietorship or partnership this information will be needed as well.  See our information on Sole Proprietorships, Partnerships, Farms, and Corporations for more information.
  • If you are involved in sales activities or other positions in which employment related expenditures can be claimed bring all relevant documents and receipts.  These typically include automotive fuel & repair receipts, vehicle lease/ownership/financing documents, mileage logs, direct expenditure receipts, and household expenditure summaries (if applicable) including mortgage statements.  Also, don't forget the T2200 declaring the Conditions of Employment signed by your employer permitting the claim of such expenditures.
  • If you have had any transactions which may give rise to capital gains exposure (including in some instances your principle residence) bring information on these items.  Such information can be complicated and you may wish to call us beforehand to review the needed papers. 
  • Finally, bring all your tax preparation and planning questions.  We will be happy to assist you and provide guidance.  Should you wish, we can provide any guidance and advice in writing and if the matter requires detailed analysis we can arrange a separate appointment to fully address the matter (see Personal Tax Planning below).

  • Personal Tax Planning

    Having your personal income taxes prepared is one matter.  However, by the time the Income Tax Return is being prepared for last year it is often too late for proactive tax reduction or deferral initiatives.  Proper planning can either reduce, transfer, or defer personal income tax.  The best times to initiate a tax planning strategy is now.  But the next best time is upon the completion of the Income Tax Return for the last year.  At this time we will learn valuable information related to your personal financial and tax status.

    Tax planning can be as simple as retirement savings and planning to maximize tax savings and investment return through PROPER use of RRSP deductions or complicated involving income splitting, forward averaging, capital gain exposure planning, estate planning, and more.  Personal tax planning is often performed in conjunction with Personal Financial Planning (below) but can be done separately.

    When Personal Tax and Financial Planning Services are initiated within six months of our office filing your Personal Income Tax Return you receive a 100% refund of the billing for Personal Income Tax preparation services. (call for details)
