Preparing Returns for Proprietorships: Workforce Changes Increase Demand

The demand for filing unincorporated small business returns may be a new growth area in the tax preparation industry as both an aging demographic and self-employed millennials choose to  make a living this way.

Knowledge Bureau’s T1 Tax Preparation – Proprietorships course - part of the Tax Services Specialist-Distinguished Financial Advisor designation - is designed to teach professional advisors tax preparation specifically for proprietorships, using CRA's prescribed forms: Statement of Business or Professional Activities; Capital Cost Allowance statements; worksheets for reporting home office, automobiles, other assets, inventory control, and cost of goods sold. Students may use their own tax preparation software to complete the course.

For those without tax preparation software, student versions of Intuit's ProFile Software Suite, Dr Tax’s DT Max, and TaxCycle Suite are provided with the course.

Students will learn how to complete income statements for the self-employed, partnerships, farmers, fishermen, and professionals. Using the most recent tax laws and budget proposals, they will be able to help taxpayers arrange their affairs within the framework of the law to pay the least taxes possible. Students will also learn how to prepare and file the GST Return and the T4 Summary Return and slips. Case studies featuring a variety of unincorporated business enterprises enable a thorough understanding of the tax preparation and planning options available to the unincorporated small business owner, including income splitting with family members and the building of both revenues and equity for future tax advantages.
