Professional 2025 tax return preparation and review for self-employed Canadians.
Balance owing due April 30, 2026
Self-employed filing deadline June 15, 2026
Teplov CPA provides CPA-led tax return services for individuals with self-employment, commission, rental, or mixed income. If your return involves a T2125, T776, corporate income, or multiple income sources, this service is designed for you.
Who This Is For
This service is appropriate if you:
– Operate as a sole proprietor
– Earn contractor or commission income
– Own rental property
– Operate a short-term rental
– Have mixed T4 and self-employment income
– Are incorporated and require both T1 and T2 preparation
If your 2025 return includes business income, rental income, or corporate reporting, professional review or preparation reduces risk and improves accuracy.
Two Service Options
Option 1
Tax Return Review
You prepare your return. A CPA reviews it before filing.
We review your T1 and relevant schedules and assess:
– Self-employment income reporting
– Deduction completeness
– Home office and vehicle calculations
– GST/HST considerations
– Common reassessment risks
– Calculation accuracy
You receive a written summary of findings and recommended adjustments before filing.
Fee: $150 flat.
If you begin monthly bookkeeping within 90 days, the review fee is credited toward your first month.
This option is appropriate if you are comfortable preparing your own return but want professional confirmation before submission.
Option 2
CPA-Prepared Return
You provide your records. We prepare the return.
This includes:
– T1 personal income tax return
– T2125 self-employment schedule
– T776 rental schedule where applicable
– GST/HST reconciliation review
– Home office and vehicle expense calculations
– Review call prior to filing
– Electronic filing with CRA
Fees depend on complexity, number of income sources, and record organization. We confirm the final fee before work begins.
If you begin monthly bookkeeping within 90 days, the preparation fee is credited toward your first month.
This option is appropriate if you prefer full preparation by a CPA experienced in self-employed taxation.

Scope and Fee Confirmation
We confirm scope and provide a clear fee quote before beginning.
Document Submission and Completion
You receive a document checklist specific to your situation. Once documents are received, we complete the review or preparation and conduct a walkthrough before filing.
What makes this different
Tax software files a return based on entered data. It does not assess:
– Whether installment payments were calculated correctly
– Whether GST/HST registration obligations applied
– Whether incorporation should be considered
– Whether deductions are supported appropriately
Every file is reviewed or prepared by a CPA experienced in self-employed taxation. The objective is accuracy, compliance, and clarity.
