I generally quote $800 to $2800 for a US Canada tax returns. with the departing Canada move, the multiple RRSP accounts, TDF 90 requirements, Quebec and Massachusetts returns, I would estimate that you are in the $1,300 to $1,500 Canadian range. You can check the suggested price list below.

If you reply, ensure that the subject starts off the same or you will likely be spammed out. I am receiving up to 500 inquiries like yours a day and am really only answering existing clients at this time and as you can see, am answering this at 1 AM in the morning..

We can get Them ready for Canada's deadline but you or us should file a US extension to make sure that we are not embarrassed by something caught in the mail.
