The problem business owners actually face

Corporate tax filing shouldn’t be harder than it needs to be

Most business owners fall into one of three situations:

Their company had no activity, but they still need to file
They want to file themselves, but don’t trust PDFs
Pay someone last minute and hope it is done right

None of those feel great.
‍
Especially when you are trying to stay compliant and avoid CRA follow-ups.
‍
CloudTax gives you a clearer way to file your corporate taxes online, with guidance and checks built in from start to finish.

You will not be forced to file or pay for something that is not a good fit.

What if my books are not ready?

You can still start. If your books need cleanup or additional work, we will recommend the best next step before you file.

Bookkeeping cleanup and catch-up services are available as optional add-ons.

Why not use a cheaper T2 software?

Some low-cost T2 software works well if you already know exactly what you are doing.

CloudTax is built for business owners who want:
- A guided experience in plain language
- Built-in checks before submission
- A clear path to filing online without guesswork

It costs more than legacy tools because it reduces mistakes, confusion, and last-minute stress.

What core T2 schedules are included in CloudTax T2 Basic?

CloudTax T2 Basic includes the primary schedules required for most standard corporate filings with the CRA:

‍Schedule 200 – The main T2 Corporation Income Tax Return
‍Schedule 1 – Reconciliation from accounting income to taxable income
‍Schedule 5 – Federal tax calculation and applicable credits
‍Schedule 100 – Balance Sheet Information
‍Schedule 101 – Opening Balance Sheet Information for first-year filers
‍Schedule 125 – Income Statement Information

These schedules report your corporation’s financial statements, taxable income adjustments, and federal tax calculation. For many small and straightforward corporations, these form the foundation of the T2 filing.

What additional T2 schedules are included when applicable?

When your corporation’s activities require further disclosure, CloudTax T2 Basic also supports:

‍Schedule 3 – Dividends received, taxable dividends paid, and Part IV tax
‍Schedule 4 – Loss continuity, carryforwards, and carrybacks

Can you also handle my personal tax return (T1)?

Yes. We offer personal tax filing services for directors and business owners as an optional add-on.

You can file your corporate return first and decide later if you want help with your personal return.

What is a CRA Web Access Code (WAC)?

A CRA Web Access Code, or WAC, is a security code issued by the Canada Revenue Agency.

It allows business owners to file their T2 return online without an EFILE number.

CloudTax uses your WAC to submit your return securely to the CRA.

Do I need an EFILE number to file a T2 using CloudTax T2 Basic?

No. You do not need an EFILE number.

CloudTax T2 Basic is designed for business owners filing their own corporate return using their CRA Web Access Code.

What if I cannot find my WAC?

You can request or retrieve your Web Access Code directly from the CRA.

If you need help, we will point you to the correct CRA process so you can continue filing.

Why is this more than some low-cost T2 software?

CloudTax is not just a form-filling tool.

- You are paying for:A guided filing experience
- Built-in validation checks
- Clear prompts instead of CRA PDFs
- Online filing with full records saved
‍
For many owners, this saves time, reduces errors, and avoids last-minute accountant fees.

Do I need an EFILE number?

No. EFILE numbers are required for tax professionals, not business owners filing their own T2 return.

CloudTax T2 Basic uses your CRA Web Access Code instead.

What if I start DIY and realize I need help?

You can upgrade at any time before filing.
Options include expert review, full handling, or additional services like bookkeeping or GST filing.

You stay in control and only add help if you need it.

Is this a subscription?

No. T2 Basic is priced per year-end, not a recurring subscription.
You pay only when you file, and only for the year you are working on.
