We specialize in Canadian taxes for cross-border filers

Packages

Not sure which package is right for you? Your intake appointment will clarify exactly what you need, and $50 of your $100 intake fee is credited toward your filing. If you need both Canadian and U.S. returns prepared, we handle both and quote them together in your proposal.
The Basics

For straightforward Canadian filers

If you have Canadian employment income, pension, CPP/QPP/OAS, or unemployment benefits and your financial situation is straightforward, this is likely your package. It’s designed for filers with standard Canadian income sources and no rental property, business income, or complex investment activity.
Starts at $270 USD
What’s included
  • Canadian wages (T4)
  • CPP/QPP/OAS income (T4AP, T4AOAS)

The usual suspect

For expats with investments, retirement accounts, or cross-border income

If you have investment income, RRSP activity, U.S. Social Security, or foreign income reported on T3 or T5 slips, this package is built for you. It’s a common choice for cross-border filers whose financial picture involves income on both sides of the border.
Starts at $360 USD
The Developer

For filers with capital gains, multi-jurisdiction income, or moving expenses

If you have capital gains, income from multiple provinces or countries not on a slip, moving expenses, or pension income splitting, this is your package. It’s designed for filers whose Canadian tax situation has more complexity, including those who have recently immigrated, emigrated, or have income across jurisdictions.
Starts at $525 USD
The Labyrinth

For filers with business income, rental property, or complex capital situations

If you run a business or have rental properties in Canada, have capital gains without a T5008 slip, or have employee stock compensation to allocate, this is your package. It’s designed for high-complexity Canadian filers who need time, precision, and expertise across multiple income sources and deduction categories.
Starts at $695 USD

Frequently asked questions

It depends on your residency status. Canadian residents must file a T1 return each year on their worldwide income. Non-residents may still have Canadian filing obligations if they receive Canadian-source income — including rental income, pension payments, or employment income earned in Canada

Your intake appointment is specifically designed to answer that question. An AET Tax Specialist will review your situation and confirm exactly what you need before any work begins.

 No — U.S. return fees are separate. If you need both Canadian and U.S. returns prepared, we handle both and will quote them together in your proposal.

T1135 is the Foreign Income Verification Statement, required for Canadian residents who own specified foreign property — including foreign bank accounts, stocks, and real estate — with a total cost exceeding $100,000 CAD. Penalties for non-filing can be significant. Your Tax Specialist will confirm whether T1135 applies to your situation during your intake appointment.

he Voluntary Disclosures Program allows Canadian taxpayers to correct previously filed returns or disclose unreported income without facing the full penalties that would otherwise apply — as long as the CRA has not yet contacted you. If you have unfiled returns or unreported foreign income, a consultation is the right first step.

Any errors resulting from our preparation or software are corrected at no additional charge.
