Personal Taxprep Half Day Update – Live Webinar, February 18 & March 3, 2025
This personal tax update is designed specifically for Personal Taxprep users to provide you with all the essential information you need. This training will have 2 dates available to attend; both sessions will cover the same information. You do NOT need to attend both.

Staying current on tax, form, software and e-service changes is critical to the success of a tax practice. This Personal Taxprep Update will review the various tax and form changes for 2024 T1 returns and discuss how these changes have been implemented in Personal Taxprep as well as the impact of the deferral of the increase in the capital gains inclusion rate. There will also be a review of recent changes to the CRA e-services.

This virtual seminar will be presented by our experienced tax seminar team. As usual, you will have plenty of opportunity to post questions or comments in the Q&A panel.

Online training is a convenient and efficient way to stay up to date in your tax knowledge. The compact format means you will not use up your entire day.   A recording will be available for a limited time after the sessions.  In addition, you will receive a PDF version of the presentation slides, and a PD certificate for 4 hours. This training will have 2 dates available to attend; both sessions will cover the same information.
