Love this software. I have used it for free. I voluntarily donate money to the designers because I love that they offer free.

They haven't updated yet for 2011, and i've emailed them numerous times asking if a 2011 version was coming out, but have not received a response.

I'm yet another one who has used this software for several years, and I love it! I'm wondering why anyone still pays for similar products for personal use, when there's such an awesome FREE certified download! (speaking of which, is this year's version certified yet? I had checked last week for the update, but didn't see it...)

I also used this last year. I was very happy with it and was happy to not have to spend $ for a tax return. Thanks for sharing with others here!

About 2 weeks based on past experience.

Do I have to send tax clips such as T4, T4a, T5, bus pass receipt, , T2202a, etc.to CRA by mail after using this software to generate .TAX file and upload it to the CRA website? How long should I keep all clips? Also, where I can find T2202a form in the software cause I cannot find it at all?

BTW, if sending paper return to CRA with all tax clips, CRA won't ask for tax clips in the future since they already have them. But, if we submit the return online, we have to keep all the clips for a while and if we lost them accidentally, it will be a pain to deal with CRA when they ask for it, right?

I've also been using Studio tax for years now. One year I used UFile & as far as I know (because I know nothing about taxes) it did my taxes ok but when I did my friends taxes they were totally wrong & when she called she was told the program didn;t do the provincial tax part

No, you don't need to send any paperwork after you submit your return electronically. I believe you need to keep everything for 7 years but I would check out the CRA website rather than trusting me
