"Most customers are using a paid version of our offering," said Jeff Cates, president of Intuit Canada, the company behind TurboTax. New for the 2014 tax year is TurboTax Free Forms, which is suitable for all returns but offers much less guidance than traditional TurboTax versions. But TurboTax is increasingly getting into free tax filing as well. The most popular tax-filing product in Canada is TurboTax, which offers a wide lineup of paid products to suit various levels of tax complexity. "It's a significant opportunity for us to serve customers that in the past we haven't been able to reach."
"We're really excited about the DIY market," he said. Todd McCallum, vice-president of digital tax business development at H&R Block, explained the change by noting that there are 11 million do-it-yourselfers among the 28 million total tax filers in Canada. For the 2014 tax year, H&R Block is offering free downloads as well as free CDs through 800 Canada Post outlets.

Last year, the firm offered a single desktop or online return for free until March 31 (after that, or if you had more returns, there was a charge).

But as of midweek, the Canada Revenue Agency had certified seven different products that help you file your taxes for free via its Netfile program.Īll are available with no restrictions, a welcome twist on the long-standing practice of offering free returns only to select groups such as people with low incomes, postsecondary students and people with ultra-simple returns.
TurboTax and UFile are still selling a lot of tax software in stores and online at prices ranging from $10 for a very basic product to $70 for something more high end. Now, even big players such as TurboTax and H&R Block are in the market. Free tax software used to be a fringe thing.
