TurboTax Canada Software Review and Giveaway!
8:28 AM Posted by CalgaryDaddy
With the 2010 tax season fast upon us, many Canadians are getting ready to complete their 2010 returns. Over the years, the majority of Canadians have taken it upon themselves to complete and file their own tax returns. I remember going to the post office in the mid 1990's and picking up a paper tax package in an attempt to file my own return. The forms where so long and confusing, that I eventually went to one one of the national tax preparation chains and paid them over $70 to file my return for me. I used to get frustrated that I had to pay someone to file my returns, as all they seemed to do was just input my T-4 information and basic information into their system. I cannot believe that I used to pay $70 for that basic service!
This quick video gives you a good overview of the product...
I would recommend Turbotax to anyone that does their own taxes. It is super easy for first time users to navigate and offers free support and 100% accuracy guaranteed. I also love the Netfile feature, which allows me to upload the return directly to the government, which speeds my return up!
TurboTax is available in stores everywhere and online at http://turbotax.intuit.ca/ . They also have many different product potions available that meet everyone's individual situation. The best part for me? Never again will I pay $70+ for a tax preparation company to do my return!

TurboTax was formerly named "QuickTax". We have used QuickTax for many years and it is so easy to use and a marvellous product. Recommend it for anyone.
