T2 filing, catch-up work, and year-end support
This page is for incorporated businesses that need a T2 return prepared, prior years brought up to date, or bookkeeping issues sorted out before filing. If the records are incomplete, we start by figuring out what is missing and what can be done now.
Helpful to bring: prior corporate returns, bookkeeping records, GST/HST details, CRA letters, and anything you already know is missing or unresolved.
What We Help With
We focus on the parts of the file that usually hold up corporate year-end work: the T2 return, year-end statements, catch-up filings, CRA letters, GST/HST issues, and bookkeeping cleanup before filing.
If owner-manager items affect the same file, we deal with those too, but the main job here is getting the corporation filed properly and on time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from incorporated businesses about T2 filing, deadlines, CRA letters, year-end records, and related bookkeeping support.
Do inactive corporations still have to file a T2 return?
In many cases, yes. Most resident corporations, including many inactive corporations, still have to file a T2 return for each tax year. We can review your situation if you are unsure.
When is the T2 corporate tax return due?
A T2 corporate tax return is generally due within 6 months of the corporation's year-end. We confirm the exact due date during intake if you are not certain.
When is the corporate tax balance due?
The balance owing can be due before the filing deadline. If tax may be owing, it is better to review payment timing early instead of waiting until the return is finished.
Can you help if our corporation is behind on filings?
Yes. We help with current-year filings and catch-up work when a corporation needs to be brought up to date. The first step is usually to review what has been filed, what is missing, and whether the bookkeeping needs cleanup before filing.
What should I bring to the first corporate tax appointment?
Helpful items include prior corporate returns, year-end financial information, bookkeeping records, GST/HST details, CRA letters, and anything you already know is missing or unclear.
Can you also help with bookkeeping and owner-manager tax planning?
Yes. We can connect your corporate tax work with Bookkeeping, Incorporation, and Personal Tax support when those services are part of the same file.
