CRA Forms

A small web app widget of CRA Forms listed by number in a central directory where tax filers can identify the forms they need and download them conveniently (if applicable).

Objective

The goal of this widget is to provide a single screen where users can interact with an app to download the filings as they complete them vs. navigating the CRA website. I defer to a time savings chart that has justified the time spent on the project vs. the time savings.

Dependencies

The following are the libraries needed to render the form.Rmd Shiny html:

#Data manipulation library
if(!require("dplyr")){
  install.packages("dplyr")
  require("dplyr")
}

#Datatable library
if(!require("DT")){
  install.packages("DT")
  require("DT")
}

#Shiny application library
if(!require("shiny")){
  install.packages("shiny")
  require("shiny")
}

#Shiny application library
if(!require("DiagrammeR")){
  install.packages("DiagrammeR")
  require("DiagrammeR")
}
