How it works

Six steps. Fifteen minutes.
Zero headaches.

You don't need to know what a T4 is. You don't need to figure out which box goes where. You don't even need to open an envelope. TaxPillar handles all of it.

STEP 01

Sign up in 60 seconds

Create a free account with your email. No credit card required to start. Choose whether you're filing personal taxes, corporate taxes, or both.

STEP 02

Connect your CRA account

Sign in with your CRA My Account credentials. TaxPillar instantly pulls every T4, T5, T3, RRSP contribution, carry-forward, and prior-year balance automatically.

STEP 03

Connect your bank (optional)

For business owners or people with significant deductions, connecting your bank lets the AI pull 12 months of transactions and categorize every single one automatically.

STEP 04

Snap photos of receipts

Anything the AI can't pull automatically (cash donations, private medical bills, out-of-pocket expenses) — just take a photo. The AI reads and categorizes it.

STEP 05

Answer a couple of questions

If the AI needs anything, it asks you plain-language questions through the app chat. Usually 3-5 quick questions. Often zero.

STEP 06

Review and file

See your complete return in plain English. Optionally add CPA review ($300) for an expert second opinion. Tap "File" and TaxPillar transmits to the CRA under our EFILE authorization.

Why people are switching

Better than an accountant.
Cheaper than TurboTax.

01

No appointments, ever

File at 11 p.m. on a Sunday. Or during your lunch break. The AI is always available. No waiting rooms. No scheduling calls.

02

Up to 95% cheaper

A typical CPA charges $200–$500 for a personal return and $1,500–$5,000 for corporate. TaxPillar starts at $49. Same accuracy, fraction of the cost.

03

Higher accuracy than humans

Our deterministic tax engine applies every rule perfectly. AI catches deductions humans miss. No transposed numbers. No forgotten carry-forwards.

04

Completely hands-off

No shoeboxes of receipts. No "can you send me that invoice?" emails. Connect once, then let the platform handle it continuously.

05

Real-time progress

See exactly where your return is. Track the status. Check your refund estimate anytime. No waiting weeks for an update.

06

CPA review if you want it

For complete peace of mind, add an optional $300 CPA review. A licensed Canadian CPA reviews your return before it's filed. 24-48 hour turnaround.
