Before you pay for your tax software this year, take a look at some of the free options out there. In the past, free tax software may not have had all the bells and whistles of the bigger titles, but things are changing. You can find some truly free options, as well as free, but limited, versions of major tax software.
One of the newer players in the tax software space, SimpleTax offers a clean, user friendly interface, and full functionality. You can also use SimpleTax on your iPad. You can include self-employed income, report investments, and perform most other tax functions. SimpleTax now supports Quebec provincial returns, including a full french translation, so you can prepare your federal and provincial returns no matter where you live in Canada.
StudioTax has been around for more than a decade. StudioTax has the ability to allow you to file returns that include investment income, rental income, and self-employed income. While you can get full functionality by buying the UFile software, there is a free version for Canadians.
TurboTax has recently made its tax software free for Canadian filers, no matter the tax situation, and with no income limit. Additionally, Turbotax works with a variety of devices and operating systems. For the most part, as your situation becomes more complex, you might be required to buy an upgraded version of TurboTax to finish your return, even though you can start for free.

A simple way to file taxes online. We'll be here to help if you need us. Create account. Need expert help? However, I found Ufile to be more user friendly. Best of luck. Stay safe. I used StudioTax, I was asked to use my account for auto file but I did not succeeded. Some can tell what mistake I may have made? Year after year, I missed the opportunity to make the full RRSP contribution I was entitled to, and subsequently paid thousands more in taxes than I should have.
StudioTax is no longer free as of the tax year. Under that and its still free. The certified update will be available late Sunday and before the start of filing on Monday morning.
Great list. Moving from Studiotax to some other free software. I am a senior,79 with memory impairment, have a basic tax return and low income never having to pay any tax the last 4 years as my non refundable tax credits exceed any tax payable.
Due to mail delays and not being puter literate, with foggy mind cannot do my return online. CRA does not allow non residents to file online. My hands are tied, no access to fax due to covid lockdown, no paper return which I am used to as mail is not arriving, OAS and CPP holding back funds which I need badly. I need help please! Any way a non resident can get taxes in to CRA in time due to missing deadline? Have tried phoning but waiting times too long. T Y Michael. Good Luck, Steve Lane.
