Rental Property Tax Services for Quebec Landlords

We support rental-property owners who need help reporting rental income, organizing expenses, separating current and capital costs, and preparing cleaner records for duplex, triplex, plex, and income-property files.

Especially relevant in Montreal and across Quebec where owner-occupied duplex and plex situations, school and municipal taxes, and Revenu Quebec audit concerns often complicate the file.

Best when rental income, expenses, allocations, CCA decisions, or landlord records need review.

Secure and confidential by design

Tax files often include sensitive identity, income, and family information. Use the online form for documents and contact us first when you only need direction.

  • Bilingual support in English and French.
  • Document handling stays in the guided intake or client portal.
  • Contact messages are for triage, not full tax records.
  • No refund, result, or eligibility promise is made before review.

Pricing guidance

Rental-property returns are priced according to file complexity, especially once unit count, mixed use, and capital work are involved.

  • Most rental-property files begin from the rental pricing tier shown on the pricing page.
  • More units, co-ownership, owner-occupied allocations, and major renovations usually increase the review time and final fee.
  • If the file includes broader business or capital-gain questions, the scope is clarified before the work is finalized.

Deposits for rental files start at $110 and are applied to the final invoice. The pricing page gives the best overview before you begin the intake.

Why this service fits Quebec rental-property tax files

This page is designed to help rental owners confirm fit before they start sending building records.

Built for rental reporting in Montreal and across Quebec

The guidance is written for Quebec rental files, including rent summaries, deductible expenses, capital-versus-current work, and owner-use questions that often affect Montreal-area properties.

Bilingual support for landlords and rental owners

TaxCove supports rental clients in English and French so questions about documentation, co-ownership, or year-end treatment can be clarified before filing.

A defined review path after you start

Once the file enters intake, the next step is review of rental income, expenses, and property details before the return is advanced as complete.

What happens next

The next step is meant to turn a search visit into a clear file path without asking you to guess the process.

Step 1

Choose the closest path

Start with the service that matches your income, documents, notice, or deadline so the intake asks for the right details.

Step 2

Share documents securely

Use the guided intake and portal flow for tax documents. Contact forms are for triage and should not include sensitive attachments.

Step 3

Review, scope, and file

The file is reviewed for missing items, scope, timing, and payment flow before preparation moves forward.

What is included

The work focuses on the parts of a rental file that create the most confusion and the most risk if they are handled casually.

Rental income and expense review

We review the gross rents, operating expenses, taxes, insurance, interest, and property-related costs that belong in the file.

Current versus capital guidance

We help separate repairs and ongoing expenses from capital purchases or improvements that should not be claimed the same way.

Allocation support for mixed-use properties

If part of the building is personal-use or owner-occupied, we help identify the information needed for a cleaner allocation.

Document-retention awareness

We highlight the records landlords usually need to keep when rental deductions or expense claims are later reviewed.

What is not included

These limits keep expectations clear around tax preparation, document review, and follow-up.

This service does not promise a specific balance, filing result, authority decision, penalty treatment, or tax amount.

It does not replace legal representation, investment advice, financial planning, or access to government accounts that only the taxpayer or an authorized representative can manage.

Bookkeeping cleanup, multi-year reconstruction, objections, appeals, or extended correspondence are scoped separately when they are needed.

Documents and information to prepare

Good rental records usually combine revenue, expenses, building details, and prior-year tax information.

Gross rent totals, rent rolls, and any summary showing what was actually collected during the year.

Mortgage interest, property tax, school tax, insurance, utilities, maintenance, and management records tied to the building.

Invoices for renovations, equipment, furniture, or major work that may need to be treated as capital rather than current expenses.

Ownership percentages, unit counts, personal-use details, and prior-year notices of assessment or capital-cost information when available.

When this page is the right next step

Use the route that matches how clear the rental-tax scope already is.

Use Start when the need is clearly rental tax filing

Start is usually the better option when the main issue is rental income, deductible expenses, or year-end reporting and the building records are mostly ready to share.

Contact first if the situation crosses service lines

Direct contact is helpful if you need to sort out rental tax versus landlord accounting, mixed personal use, or a catch-up situation before you open the intake.

Prepare the core rental records first

Use the checklist if you still need rent summaries, expense invoices, prior notices, or building details that define the first review step.

Common mistakes we help prevent

Rental files become risky when receipts exist but the tax treatment behind them has not really been reviewed.

Claiming a capital improvement as if it were a routine repair or maintenance expense.

Forgetting school taxes, shared utilities, or other recurring building costs that belong in the file.

Mixing personal-use expenses with rental deductions in owner-occupied duplex or plex situations.

Keeping incomplete records that make it hard to respond if Revenu Quebec or the CRA asks for support later.

What happens next

The rental intake path is designed to capture the building details and expense categories that tend to drive follow-up questions.

Step 1

Start with the rental intake

Choose the rental category and share the building profile, ownership details, and the rental year you need to report.

Step 2

Upload income and expense support

Submit the property records, tax bills, invoices, and other documents that support the rental revenue and deductions.

Step 3

Review allocations and major expenses

We follow up on mixed-use details, capital items, or gaps in the records before the file is finalized.

Step 4

Finalize the return

Once the rental file is complete and the scope is clear, we move through the secure client process to completion.

Frequently asked questions

Can you help with duplex and triplex owner-occupied situations?

Yes. Those files often need allocation work between personal and rental use, which is exactly where extra review matters.

What if I did major renovations during the year?

Share the invoices and context. Major work can change whether costs are treated as current expenses or capital items.

Do I still need records if I have a basic spreadsheet?

Yes. A summary is helpful, but the return still depends on underlying invoices, tax bills, interest statements, and other support.

Is this service only for large rental portfolios?

No. It is useful for single-building owners as well, especially when the file involves mixed use, renovations, or several expense categories.

Need support with a rental-property tax file?

Start the secure rental intake, contact us before you submit, or use the checklist and FAQ to organize the file first.
