It's free and on a donation basis. I switched from TurboTax to this and I'm really happy with it.
I'm surprised there isn't a open-sourced free way to do taxes. That way we can address the tinfoil hat based worries of the government doing your taxes and have free and easy software.
- teamonkey 14y agoI might do the same, having just filed last years' Canadian taxes with TurboTax. I didn't have a problem with TT but I do have a problem with Intuit's actions here. Coming from the UK where it has been automated all my working life, I resent having to file my taxes each year. As others have said, the government has nearly all the information anyway.For anything else, then only short declaration forms should be necessary and not a full return. I also don't like the lump sum return or payment if there's any discrepancy. In the UK the most common option is to have an adjustment to your tax code, which simply deducts more or less tax at source over the following tax year. You don't even need to give them your bank info.
- eumenides1 14y agoThe only reason why i used TurboTax in the past was because my parents used it and they were comfortable with the UI. But I've since taken over that task and I have no such love for their UI, especially when a free alternative is available.
