Tax time is rapidly approaching so it is time to start pulling together the necessary documents. We start processing in the second week of March.
All tax returns into our office by March 31st in their entirety will be eligible for a $200 Costco gift card to be drawn once we have a chance to breath again the middle of May. All materials must be provided by the deadline to be eligible.
Effective immediately we have stopped sending sensitive information out through email for security reasons. Too many cases of privacy breaches have been reported. This includes anything with names, addresses, SINs, financial information, etc. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada has new mandatory reporting requirement where ANY breaches of security safeguards have occurred, even for small businesses.
In response, we have initiated a secure Canadian based portal which can be used by both of us to transmit any such information. On our first occurrence, we will be sending you an email asking you to setup your own personal password for a portal that will be accessible only by you and our firm. Once established there is a link at the bottom of my home page to access your portal. There you can send us your information or download what we have provided for you. If you need a portal before we get to you please send me a request and we’ll start the process.
