We have Ufile. I think we paid about $20 for it at Futureshop (had gift cards to use), but you can buy it online too. We've used it for a couple of years now, we find it to be good.

If you're low income, I *think* you can get it for free.

Only one year. Tax rules change yearly and the software has to meet Revenue Canada most up to date rules. That is with any tax software.

Quick Tax has a free online version if you ONLY have income to declare:

You qualify to use the QuickTax Free Online Edition if:

• You receive T-slips such as T4s and T4As
• You have tip income or pension income to claim
• You are not self-employed
• You do not have invest income
• You only receive standardized federal & provincial deductions

I use StudioTax. It's free.

Yes, only one year. I don't think any tax software will cover multiple years - things change every year. But you can do more than one family member's return with Ufile.

In the past I used to have a spreadsheet that worked fairly well, and it was free once I developed it. It had to have minor modifications done each year, it took some time, but it was free! I like Ufile because it's a bit simpler, and files electronically for you too.

Hi, If you earn a low income, you may qualify to have a charted accountant do your taxes at one of the C.A.O. free clinics. If you want more info, try googling The Charted Accountants of Ontario. They have a link, which will direct you to the list of free clinics. I am not sure though, if they are offered outside the greater Toronto area. :o( if you live outside of Ontario, it may be likely that the governing body for accountants in your area offers the same service. cheers, Pamdaa

I use cutetax I think the name is. But CRA has a community volunteer income tax program that has work shops around during tax time and volunteers will do your taxes for free. Need to be less then $27,000 in income I think. Here is the link. http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/vlntr/nd-eng.html I used to volunteer with them but never have the time to do it anymore while I'm working on my designation.

I used StudioTax as well... surprisingly good for a free program. I expect I'll send a 'donation' after I get our refund.
