MEDICAL & DENTAL STUDENT PROGRAM

We’ll file your taxes while you focus on training.

Start with a CPA who knows your file before your career takes off. While you’re a full-time medical or dental student or resident, DURCO LLP will prepare and file your basic personal tax return, and your spouse’s, at no charge. When you begin practicing or are ready to incorporate, we’ll be ready to help from day one.

  • Investment accounts with significant activity, or foreign income or assets

  • Catching up on prior years that haven't been filed

WHEN YOU FINISH TRAINING

We grow with you

FAQ

Still not sure? Reach out to admin@durcollp.com and we'll gladly answer any questions.

  • Yes. If your return is a basic one, there’s no fee while you’re a full-time student or resident. If something in your return needs extra work, we’ll tell you the cost before we start, and you can decide.

  • Filing builds up your unused tuition credits and RRSP room for later, and keeps you eligible for benefits like the GST/HST credit. Those tuition credits can cut your tax bill once you’re earning a full salary.

  • Before your free returns end, we’ll meet with you to plan for your first years in practice, including whether and when to set up a professional corporation, and go over our associated fees.

  • Yes. We’ll prepare your spouse’s or common-law partner’s basic return at no charge too, as long as you’re in the program.
