Tax Software
For those of you that do your own income tax via software, what software package do you use? I have been using Quick Tax the last couple of years and have been pretty satisfied. The other choices are UFile and TaxWiz. Has anyone use those two?

I'll be getting QuickTax again this year myself just because I am used to it now. With UFile and TaxWiz being half the price, I wonder how they compare to QuickTax? I was just curious to see what everyone else uses.

I used http://www.studiotax.com last year - no issues. It is free and will be Netfile certified.

I've used TaxWiz for several years with no issues. It was cheap, $20. But, so far I haven't seen TaxWiz being sold anywhere. I believe it was acquired by QuickTax and they are probably no longer marketing it. I'll probably try UFILE this year. Sale price is $20.

Any comments for '08 recommended software? I'm considering going back to my own filing once again.

Top 5 Canadian Tax Software Programs
From Susan Ward,

Today's tax preparation software does more than just let you calculate your income tax and send in your return. Most tax software programs include tax planning features so you can analyze different income tax scenarios. If your business is a sole proprietorship or partnership, you'll be able to use any of the Canadian tax software in this article; if your business is incorporated, your tax software options are more limited. All these Canadian tax software programs are CRA approved.
1. QuickTax Canadian Tax Software
This user-friendly Canadian tax software program lets you prepare your income taxes easily and quickly. The EasyStep Interview leads you through the tax preparation process by asking questions in plain English, and tax planning is a snap because of the ability to run multiple tax scenarios, and features such as the capital gains analyzer and incorporation analyzer. Many Windows versions are available, including one for incorporated businesses.

2. GenuTax Canadian Tax Software
This Canadian tax software program has two things going for it that really appeal to me. The first is that you purchase GenuTax once and future annual updates for the income tax software are free. The second is that there's no limit on the number of tax returns you can prepare and file (unlike most tax preparation software programs). The downside? You can't use this tax software if you live in Quebec or for preparing corporate tax returns.

3. TaxTron Canadian Tax Software
TaxTron used to be GriffTax and is still the only fully functional user-friendly Canadian tax preparation software available in both individual (T1) and corporate (T2) versions for Macintosh OS. However, there is a version of this tax software available for Windows, too, that you can use to do your individual and/or business income tax. All versions are quick, easy, and fully bilingual.

4. Cantax Canadian Tax Software
Originally designed as income tax software for tax professionals, Cantax has evolved into a line of tax preparation software for every need. Two of this Canadian tax software's features that I really like in the T1Plus edition are the Quick Entry screen where you can enter the data from different forms onto a single screen and the Pathfinder that makes it easier to move between form(s) and the return. If you want to prepare only a small number of returns, look for the low volume products such as T1Plus Home Office, or, for corporate returns, Cantax T2.

5. UFile for Windows Canadian Tax Software
Essentially with this tax preparation software, you enter your income tax information using an interview interface. Currently this Canadian tax software program only offers personal income tax preparation (T1), but it has the capability to handle any kind of self-employment income and calculate capital gains - and can be used by Quebec residents. Ufile also offers online income tax preparation and filing.
