Your taxes,
decoded.

Free. No catch. Start with a chat with Max.

Behind on your taxes?

Lots of people are. Every year you put it off makes it harder to start, so we make starting free.

Refunds wait for you to file

If you're owed money, the only way to get it is to file. Refunds for missed years can still be claimed up to ten years back.

Benefits depend on your return

The GST/HST credit and the Canada Child Benefit are worked out from the returns you've filed. No return can mean no payment.

If you owe, the penalty grows

Filing late adds 5% of what you owe, plus 1% for every full month late, up to a year. Filing stops the clock.

A finished return, ready for your accountant.

Your accountant gets a return that's already put together, not a shoebox of slips. That's less of their time to pay for, and fewer things missed.

  • Your return, filled in on the official CRA forms
  • Every year you've missed, each on that year's forms
  • A plain-English list of every credit and deduction you qualify for, and why
  • Notes for your accountant on the choices worth a second look

Why free?

Because a simple return shouldn't cost you a day's pay.

No upsell

There's no paid tier and no "premium" return. Everyone gets the same full package.

You stay in control

You and your accountant check everything and decide what gets filed. Nothing goes to CRA from us.

Debt trouble too?

Back taxes and debt often travel together. If yours do, our sister service Debt Decoder can show you your options.
