| As you are likely aware, Federal, Provincial and Municipal mandates have significantly limited our ability to meet in-person to collect your 2020 personal income tax information. While we recognize this as a lost opportunity to catch up with all of our valued clients, please rest assured that over the past year, Lipton has implemented a system to ensure that all our obligations to our clients will be met without any delay. Navigating this new world has it’s challenges, but has allowed us to reexamine our workflow and develop new strategies to serve our clients in the most efficient manner possible, without sacrificing from the quality of work our clients have come to expect from us! In continuation with our practices from last year, Lipton will be requesting that all of our clients send us their 2020 T1 Income Tax information in digital form. So…. Let’s Get Digital! Delivering your tax information to us digitally is a three-step process: 1. Assembling your tax information First, assemble all of the relevant information you need to send to your Lipton advisor. The Lipton T1 Checklist is your best guide to determine the information required. 2. Scanning your information Many of the documents required may already be in digital form, but for those that are not, you will need to scan them. Your mobile phone or iPad camera, along with a downloadable app can easily do the job of a traditional scanner. There are many apps to choose from. Our preferred app (which happens to be free) is: Microsoft Office Lens |
