Thanks everyone. Good feedback.

I've used H&R Block the last few years. Just tired of them taking a chunk of my returns. Mine's one of the more expensive return filings with them, due to investments, they're charging me well into the $200's. They also charge me on a per-slip basis and the charge is sometimes as much as the dividends paid for that slip. I've been lazy and not cared as my refund (due to RRSP contributions) was far greater than the service fee, but just getting tired of losing a chunk just for them plugging the slips into their program and efiling for me.

Your feedback got me thinking--either shop around for another local accountant or just get some software. Will check out everyone's mentioned programs.

Thanks.

Why wouldn't you just use the free down-loadable one and save the $17 ?
I posted the download link above ....
It even carries over your information from the previous year
You can do up to 20 different returns with one download, and it's all e-file if you want
My wife has been using it for about 10 years (since it came out), and in one case when Revenue Canada was wrong, Studio Tax was correct

It works for personal and business taxes ....

Try it and you'll never go back :wink:

Studio Tax has a built-in Wizard that guides you through the necessary steps, asks you what slips you have and you just plunk in the numbers
It'll even ask you before you submit, did you remember do 'this or that' ?

Why pay someone else to file your T slips ?

You may be getting money back if you do it yourself, instead of paying for a useless service

It's easy .... just do it :smile:
