Regular-season rates apply to the previous tax year when TaxCove receives your documents from January 15 through April 15, using Quebec time. Earlier tax years and documents received outside this period use out-of-season rates. Each tax year is priced separately; booking an appointment does not reserve a rate.

1. Today
You pay the deposit for your file type at checkout — $60 or $120, plus GST and QST.
2. After document review
Your written quote uses the applicable service minimum and approved additional work. It itemizes taxes and subtracts your deposit.
3. Before filing
You settle the balance from your client portal. We file with the CRA and Revenu Québec once it clears.
Checkout collects a deposit by file category, plus GST and QST. Everything you paid is credited to the written quote confirmed after review.
Couples: one of you completes a single intake for the household, supplies both sets of information, pays one deposit, and books one appointment. Each of you still receives your own return and signs your own filing authorization. The couple rates apply when TaxCove files for both partners — if your spouse files elsewhere, your return is priced at the individual rate.
Advertised service fees exclude only applicable GST/QST. Your deposit is charged with GST and QST on top, and your written quote itemizes the service fee, GST, QST, deposit credit, and remaining balance.
Complete-service minimums
These are minimum prices for the complete service, not fees added to the household rate. For each tax year, use the highest applicable household or service minimum. Additional work below is priced separately.
| Service | In-season rates | Out-of-season rates |
|---|---|---|
| Employee work-from-home expenses | From $130 | Reviewed quote |
| Rental income | From $130 | From $230 |
| Self-employment | From $140 | From $240 |
| Complex investments or capital transactions | From $130 | From $230 |
Additional work
These fees are additional to the applicable complete-service minimum. A rate marked “Reviewed quote” is confirmed individually; no rate is assumed for that season.
| Additional work | In-season rates | Out-of-season rates |
|---|---|---|
| Disability tax credit work | + $50 | + $75 |
| Home-support service expenses | + $30 | + $55 |
| Principal residence sale | + $50 | Reviewed quote |
| Pension income splitting (per couple) | Reviewed quote | + $75 |
| Extra uploaded document (per selected file) | $15–$25 | $15–$25 |
For extra documents, the team selects the actual uploaded files and a fee of $15–$25 per file in your quote. Upload count alone does not authorize an extra charge.

The highest applicable household or complete-service minimum is used for each tax year. Confirmed additional work and selected extra documents are added only in your written quote, which you approve before work starts.
This is guidance, assuming your documents arrive now. The actual date TaxCove receives your documents determines the season for each tax year. Your selected answers and uploaded files are reviewed before the final quote is confirmed.
