Since its introduction as T4 TimeSaver in 1987, AvanTax eForms has been used by tens of thousands of Canadian businesses to reliably produce CRA and Revenu Québec information returns Originally written for MS-DOS in 1987, T4 TimeSaver was rewritten for Windows in 1997 and in 2011 we renamed T4 TimeSaver to AvanTax eForms to reflect its multiple forms capability.
AvanTax eForms' development team is committed to providing software for producing Canadian information returns that is superior to any other system and we continually add new features in response to new CRA & RQ requirements and client requests. New and improved features in the 2020 version of eForms include:
