All fields on this screen flow directly into Page 1 of CRA Form T661. Double-check spellings and numbers before moving on.
Where to find it
- Sign in and open the Dashboard.
- Use the top navigation bar and click Pro › Company.
- The Company Information form will load in the main panel.
Form Walk-through
- Business Name – enter your legal name exactly as it appears on your T2 return.
- Business Number – 15-digit CRA number (e.g. 123456789 RC0001).
- Project Category – pick the option that best matches your R&D (Software, Biotech, etc.).
- Fiscal Year-End – month/day format (MM/DD).
- Tax Year – choose the calendar year you are claiming from the drop-down.
- Contact Person – someone the CRA can phone during a review.
- Proxy vs Traditional – select **Proxy** if you plan to claim the 55 % overhead rate.
- Province – determines which provincial SR&ED credits Shredy calculates.
- Is CCPC? – tick this if you are a Canadian-controlled private corporation.
When everything looks good, hit Save & Continue in the bottom-right corner. Shredy will store the data and update the progress bar at the top of the dashboard.
Tips & Considerations
- Business Number mismatch will cause your EFILE submission to fail—copy it straight from CRA My Business Account.
- If you operate in multiple provinces, choose the one where the majority of R&D is performed.
- Switching from Traditional to Proxy (or vice-versa) later will reset your Financials section because the cost calculations change.
