AUTHORIZATION FORM
For new client drop-offs only. No need to fill out for an appointment or if you're a prior client.
This is a standard form used by tax preparers, and must be printed out and signed. It authorizes Empanda Tax Services to represent you to CRA for the purpose of preparing your tax return. If you are not able to print the form at home, there are copies at our drop-off mail slot. Please sign one and include it with your other tax documents.
We must have this authorization in order to accurately prepare your return.

WHAT DOCUMENTS DO I NEED?
A checklist of documents.
If you're unsure what documents we'll need to prepare your taxes, take a look through this checklist to make sure you don't forget anything.
We don't have absolutely everything listed here, so if there's anything else you think you might need, just bring it in.
CANADA DENTAL BENEFIT
This is a benefit for people with children under 12 and no dental insurance.
If you are doing your taxes with us, we'll help you apply for the Canada Dental Benefit for no extra charge.
If your child had an appointment for dental care last year in October, November, or December, let us know the dates and the name of the dentist or clinic they went to. If they have an appointment booked for the future, same thing - let us know the dates and name of the dentist or clinic. And that's it! Please bring the information to your appointment. We'll figure out the rest for you.
If you want to try it out yourself, CRA has a pretty good walk-through of the process. Check it out here.
