One

Priced by what the return actually contains

An individual T1 starts at $65. A spousal or family pair starts at $130, and each additional family member is from $65. A return for a business owner or someone self employed starts at $350, because the work is a set of business schedules rather than a handful of slips.

Returns with more in them are priced accordingly and published the same way. Investment and capital gains from $450, rental property from $450, United States or foreign income from $500, a T1135 foreign asset form from $150, and a trust or estate T3 from $750.

What changes the price

Slips against schedules

A return built from T4 and T5 slips is quicker than one with business or rental schedules behind it.

How many returns together

Spousal and family returns are priced as a group because they are prepared together.

Anything foreign

Foreign income and foreign asset reporting carry their own forms and their own published prices.
