HOW TO FILE

HOW TO FILE YOUR TAXES FROM ANYWHERE!

Tax filing used to be a heavy burden, but it doesn’t have to be! We’ve developed an easy, secure fast way to have your taxes prepared by a professional without you having to go anywhere. We want this process to be as simple and stress fress as possible for you!

There are 3 simple steps to get your return filed remotely

  1. Connect with us to get started
  2. Get organized
  3. Let us do the work

GETTING STARTED IS EASY!

Step One

Connect with us letting us know you need your taxes done. We’ll get you the one PDF form and tax checklist needed or you can get it first here. We’ve designed the form to be downloaded and filled out right from your computer so there’s no printing required. The added checklist is there to help ensure you have everything needed to get your taxes done. We’ll then assign you a specific Tax Hero who you can reach out to with questions throughout the entire process.

Step Two

The next thing you need to do is to get your documents ready and send to us. You’ll need to get your slips and information into digital format if it is not already. This is easy thanks to smart phones and apps. *Skip the apps and take a photo! We can work with all file formats!* But, there are several scanner apps out there like; CamScanner, Tiny Scanner, and for Microsoft fans, Office Lens. These apps are available for Android and iOS. Once you have photos/scans of your documents, you are now ready to send them to us! Simply follow the link we will provide you directly, and securely drop off your documents to the aissgned Tax Hero. For added information that is not in slip form, like donations, metro-passes etc., you can, take more photos, create a word document or write it in an email! Do what is easiest for YOU! Just simply let us know what you think we need to know.

Step Three

Now that we have everything, your assigned Tax Hero will put it all together and send back a copy for review. We do not send anything in without your go ahead and signature. Once approved, they will send you the form to sign, which can be done from a smart device or computer. We’ll send in your return to the CRA and a copy of the invoice to you, and you’ll be all done for another year!

Other Things to note!

How to send us organized files. If you’re filing more than one year, the easiest way to get us your organized files is by creating one folder Taxes – Name and then sub folders for each year with the relevant documents in each folder. Then to send us the whole folder through our secure drop-off, all you need to do is right click the main folder (Taxes – Name) and select Send to -> Compressed (Zipped) Folder. Then you’ll be able to send one file with everything inside of it.

The same organizational process can be used when send multiple person’s files for couples and family returns.

When sending us large number of files, over 25, they have to be zipped.
