Answer the four questions above.
Gondaliya CPA Professional Corporation is a registered EFILE electronic filer. Returns are prepared and transmitted in Canada. Credentials are never shared and never used offshore.
The Order Is Fixed
The steps do not run in parallel and none of them is skipped. Payment comes first, the return is prepared from what you entered, Form T183CORP is generated from the prepared figures, you sign it, and only then is the return transmitted.
That order is what makes the signature mean something. The form carries the figures on your own return, with the date and an HH:MM:SS timestamp, and it is never backdated.
What Each Step Produces
| Step | What you do | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Payment | Enter the corporation name and the unfiled years, and pay | Start preparing the return |
| Preparation | Nothing | Prepare the T2 and generate Form T183CORP from its figures |
| Signing | Open the single-use link and sign as the authorized signing officer | Hold the signed form for six years |
| Transmission | Nothing | Transmit electronically as a registered EFILE electronic filer |
| Confirmation | Keep the email | Email your CRA confirmation within 3 business days |
The CRA confirmation due date calculator dates the last step from the day the return was transmitted.
Several Years Run the Same Way
Each tax year is a separate return, so a run of unfiled years goes through this sequence once per year: one Form T183CORP to sign for each, one transmission for each, one confirmation for each.
They can be prepared together, and the fee is $300.00 plus HST per tax year however many go at once.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I pay?
