TurboTax Basic for the 2011 Tax Year

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has limited all tax preparation software products in Canada that allow you to NETFILE to a maximum of 20 returns to be filed per computer or online account.

This guideline applies to TurboTax. It is the same guideline that was in place for the 2011 tax year.

NOTE: The 20-return limit applies to returns filed on paper or electronically using NETFILE.

If you have any comments or concerns about this limit, please contact the CRA at NETFILE-E@cra-arc.gc.ca or visit www.netfile.gc.ca
