Intuit® is making it more difficult to get a copy of the Canadian version of TurboTax. I used to be signed up for a subscription. I was automatically charged and provided with a download link every January. They've discontinued that, I believe in order to get everybody using their online tax preparation via a browser. I like installing new Windows software. It is a task that occurs less and less frequently nowadays. I also found out that it will cost at least a buck less to buy the standalone product to file two returns. Perhaps most importantly, I don't want my data kept on their servers, no matter how secure they think they are.
Excuse me if I appear overzealous. I don't want you to think I'm crazy, but I rather enjoy doing my taxes. I take pleasure in ensuring the entries are all entered accurately. This year, I get to try different pension-sharing scenarios. Since the beginning of 'e-file' days, the final upload to Revenue Canada gives me a little jot of satisfaction.
The first date on which Canadian taxes can be 'e-filed' is February 22nd. You can bet our taxes with either be completed that day or shortly thereafter.
