What Canadian Clients Should Upload Before U.S. Tax Prep

The fastest way to slow down U.S. tax prep for a Canadian client is to start before the document picture is clear.

Upload Prior Returns And Notices

Upload prior U.S. tax returns, IRS notices, state notices, ITIN letters, EIN letters, and any filing confirmations from prior years.

Prior records help identify what was filed before and what may still need attention.

Upload Income Forms

Gather W-2, 1099, 1042-S, rental statements, platform income reports, business income summaries, K-1s, bank records, and withholding documents.

Upload Expense Support

For rental or business activity, upload expenses by year and category. Include bank statements, receipts, management statements, mileage support, and repair details where relevant.

Answer The Big Fact Questions

Tell us the tax year, filing purpose, U.S. days, ITIN or SSN status, entity involvement, rental activity, business activity, and any deadlines.
