- The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has developed a streamlined approach for authorized representatives (such as Rutwind Brar) to access taxpayer information over the Internet. To ensure that such access is authorized, they have developed Form T1013, and a copy of it is available here. All clients should print out this document, sign it in the place indicated, and include it with the tax material you send us. We will use the form to establish a direct link to your tax history data at CRA. This minimizes the possibility of discrepancies and missed information.
- If you have an interest in foreign (non-U.S.) bank or other financial accounts and the aggregate maximum value of these accounts during the year exceeded $10,000 US, you are required to submit a separate FinCEN Form 114 Report on Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts.

This will provide $ 2,000 a month for four months for self-employed individuals who have lost income because of COVID-19. They are estimating that a portal will be available for applications starting April 6th and benefits would start being paid 10 days later. These are just estimates and the timeline could change.
