Next: three quick questions

You will answer a few questions about your situation first. We ask you to create an account before any personal details, so your name, SIN, and documents are always protected by sign-in.

Not sure which path fits?

Use Contact if the file crosses several categories or you want a fit check first. Use the checklist if you mainly need to gather the first document set.

Review the checklist

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.

What to expect from Start

Start is designed for visitors who are ready to open a file. It is not the only path on the site, but it is the fastest route when the service fit is already clear.

1

Best when you are ready to begin

Use Start when you already know the file type and want to move into the online form instead of reading more overview pages.

2

Built for secure document handling

The next step is the guided intake, where the file category, personal details, and supporting documents are collected in the secure process.

3

What happens after submission

Once the core information is submitted, the file can be reviewed for fit, missing items, and the next action needed before it moves forward.
