Canuck-Tax.ca

Those are filing tools. They take what you already know and submit it to the CRA. They're good at that, and we're not trying to replace them.

Canuck-Tax is the layer underneath — the thinking part. We use AI to read the documents you upload through the year — receipts, T-slips, statements — and to watch your tax situation as it changes. It spots deductions you might be missing, tracks your RRSP and TFSA room before the contribution deadlines, and flags what's coming up so March 1 isn't a scramble. Every observation is in plain language and tied to your documents and your numbers. Not generic tax tips. Your actual return.

The practical difference: a CPA charges $400 to $1,200 per return for the kind of review we automate. Canuck Pro is $149 a year — about $12.42 a month if you go annual, $14.99 monthly otherwise — for the same kind of thinking, year-round, on demand. We sit between filing-it-yourself and hiring an accountant, and we're priced for it.

Every claim we make about your taxes links back to a CRA source. You can check our work. We'd rather show you why a deduction might apply than tell you it does.

Not directly — and we'd rather be honest about that than dress it up.

What you can do: upload any tax document you already have. Last year's notice of assessment, your T-slips, prior-year receipts, your CRA RRSP statement — anything you've kept. Canuck-Tax reads them, organizes them, and uses them as the starting point for this year's analysis. Your contribution room, your prior deductions, your patterns — all of it gets surfaced into the AI Advisor as context for what you're looking at now.

What you can't do, yet: pull a TurboTax .tax file or a Wealthsimple Tax return file and have it pre-populate fields. That kind of file-format import is on the V1.1 roadmap, not in V1.

If you're switching from another tool, the practical move is to upload last year's notice of assessment as your first document. That single file gives the AI most of what it needs to start being useful immediately.

We can't promise a refund — nobody honest can. What we can do is show you, specifically, what you might be missing.

When you upload receipts and documents, the AI estimates the deductions you may be eligible to claim and shows them with a dollar range. Not a guaranteed number — a range, based on a conservative read of CRA rules and your marginal tax rate.

Whether those numbers actually land on your return depends on your full situation, the supporting documentation, and how you file. We show the math, link to the CRA rule for each one, and let you decide what's worth claiming.

The honest answer to "will I save money" is: probably, if you're self-employed or running a side business and you haven't been tracking deductions carefully — those are the visitors most tax software underserves. If you're a straightforward T4 employee with no side income, the savings are smaller. We'd rather tell you that than oversell.

The AI is a guide, not an advisor. It won't tell you whether you qualify for a deduction — it'll show you the CRA rule that applies to your situation, link you to the official source, and let you confirm. That's deliberate. We're not licensed to make eligibility calls, and you shouldn't trust software that pretends it is.

When something is genuinely beyond what the AI should answer — complex incorporation questions, an active CRA review, anything where the wrong call has real consequences — the answer is the same as it would be from any honest tax tool: talk to a CPA. We don't refer you to one in V1, and we don't take a commission when you find one. We'd rather you find someone you trust than someone we get paid to recommend.
