MyCRA

Inspiration

Two of our team members have been long-time tax clinic volunteers. Through their experience, they observed that while existing platforms such as UFile, Wealthsimple, and TurboTax provide valuable tools, many individuals still find the process of filing taxes challenging — particularly when interpreting tax slips and box numbers, even with detailed explanations.

What it does

Users chat with a tax agent — no need to navigate complex forms.
They provide slip types, box numbers, and amounts through the conversation.
The system automatically processes the information and completes the tax return.
No guesswork, no confusion — just an easy, streamlined experience for all.
