Clients will need to keep all their tax information slips and documents for six years after they file their tax return, in case we ask to see them. If they file a complete and accurate tax return, and keep all their documents, they will be ready for any review we may do. Close to 700,000 clients now use this filing option and benefit from faster processing times than do those who file paper returns. Participants can expect their refunds in about two weeks, and even faster if they use direct deposit. This safe, simple, and reliable option means their cheques will never get lost or stolen.
