Questions

Frequently asked questions

When is the deadline to file my Canadian taxes?

For most individuals, personal (T1) returns are due April 30. If you or your spouse are self-employed, your filing deadline is June 15 — but any balance owing is still due April 30. I recommend getting your documents to me well before then so there's time to review.

Can you file my taxes if I'm not in Calgary?

Yes. I work with clients across Alberta and beyond. You can share your documents securely through my online client portal, and we can connect by phone or email — no in-person visit required.

How do I send you my tax documents securely?

Through my secure TaxDome client portal. You can upload slips and documents, sign electronically, and message me in one place — it's faster and far safer than email attachments.

What documents do you need to file my return?

It depends on your situation, but commonly: your T4 and other income slips (T4A, T5, T3), RRSP contribution receipts, medical and donation receipts, childcare, and tuition (T2202). For business or rental income, your income and expense records. I'll send you a tailored checklist when we start.

How much does it cost to have you file my taxes?

Pricing depends on the complexity of your return. After a quick, no-obligation chat about your situation, I'll give you a clear, upfront quote before any work begins — no surprises.

Are you a licensed CPA?

Yes. I'm a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) based in Calgary, Alberta, with over 30 years of experience, operating as Tax File CPA. I specialize in small business, corporate, and self-employed tax — your return is prepared and reviewed by a designated professional.
