We have been using Quicktax for years. We just picked up our new copy at Staples last week.
Edit: I just realized someone dug up last years post.
Looks like a few of us are still satisfied with QT

been using ufile pretty much all along, my dad had been using quicktax but didn't find it worth the price difference. a plus is that ufile handles the fed/quebec stuff quite well. (yay! i get credited just for living here!)

if it's any measure of performance, there are few corrections when i get the final evaluation back, and those are usually in my favour. it's a quick process, but my taxes are pretty straight forward.

I used QuickTax web for the last couple years and it worked well for me. It wasn't worth it for me to purchase the installed version because I'm only filing my individual tax return.

QuickTax changed their licensing scheme this year. Used to be you were allowed to file 5 returns of over $25k in income, and up to 20 returns total. They've cut it down to only allow 2 returns of over $25k in income. Considering I used to buy one copy and use it to let my dad, sister and brother-in-law file their returns, QT is now considerably more expensive than it used to be.

QuickTax. I've used it ever since Intuit bought out CanTax, which was my favourite up to that point.

That reminds me...

Okay I guess Quick tax it is. I use Intuit Quick Books for business now anyway.

We've used QuickTax for several years now. I think we used to use a product called CanTax but for some reason I don't think they're in business anymore. Anyways, we've been quite pleased with QuickTax. It is easy to use and pretty affordable but I do think the price has gone up this year.

What I am most thankful for is RRSP optimizing tools. It's nice to plunk in a contribution and see immediately the difference you'll get back on your refund. When I started my first real job I was glad to end up with an additional $1500 (give or take) in my pocket by simply saving for retirement.

We've always used the client software as opposed to the online version. Mainly because we are in a rural area and were on dial-up until recent years. My co-worker says QuickTax works fine online over dial-up.

We again opted for the client version of Quick Tax Standard again this year because my Dad's taxes are pretty complex compared to mine. I think a web based version just wouldn't be compatible with my parents.

The only major downside to the client version other than the higher price is the fact that they only let you install and activate the software TWICE. I've bought some nice upgrades for my computer and now I'll need to wait till the end of april before I can safely tear apart my computer.
