An accountant will provide what they know, some are not up to date with training or CRA changes or notices. Accountants hire tax preparers to do your taxes and do not review or audit.
We do free taxes for low-income persons and their families and anyone on Social Services, Canada Pension.
We suggest hiring a professional who will cover your taxes and provide you with more more control over your final results. You will find out if anything is missing and having that second look gives you a peace of mind. A review of your taxes by a professional is why it is more accurate. You should not sign your taxes until you feel it is right and accurately done.
