Every individual and business needs the right information to help it succeed. Richard Kosick & Co. are here to help you with your personal and business accounting needs. To that end, we have provided links to Canadian government websites and other forms.

Forms
When to Drop Off
Our goal is to file your tax return on time to avoid a late-filing penalty. However, during tax season, it’s a challenge to complete your tax return on time if you drop off your documents a couple of weeks before its deadline. For this reason, we encourage you to drop off your accounting files within the suggested drop off dates.
What to Tell Us
What to Bring
In general, bring over your tax slips, receipts, and documents related to:
- Income (e.g. T4, T5 slips, business income)
- Sale of investments or real estate properties(incl. sale of principal residence)
- Income deduction(e.g. RRSP slips, moving expenses receipts)
- Tax credit(e.g. donation, medical receipts)
What to Sign
Consent forms to government agencies (e.g. CRA, PST) allow us to communicate with government representatives on your behalf. It helps us to determine potential outstanding returns, obtain missing tax slips, or file your government returns (e.g. GST return). Fill out the highlighted items in the consent form and give us a copy.
What May Help You
Above forms may help in reducing your income taxes. For instance, a T2200 is mandatory for eligible employees, who can deduct their employment expenses against their employment income.
