Once you've finished entering information into your return, the Audit Risk Alert will let you know if the tax claims you've entered may trigger a CRA audit.
By letting you know of your potential risk for a tax audit before you file, TurboTax allows you to:
Make an informed decision about the deductions that you're claiming
Have professional representation at the ready by adding Audit Defence to your product
Red flags in your return can result in the CRA asking for more documentation, requesting an in-depth review or a full audit. With Audit Risk Alert, you'll have a better understanding of how the CRA will review your return before you send it.
File Online - The Paper-Free Way.
And Get Your Refund in as Little as 8 Days.
When you've completed your simple tax return with TurboTax Basic, save yourself a stamp and save a tree... by choosing to file with NETFILE instead of printing out your forms and mailing them in to the CRA. Many people who file with NETFILE get their refunds in just 8 business days.4
To NETFILE, you'll just need an Internet connection and the online filing code the CRA provided on your 2011 T1 personal income tax return package (along with your 2010 Notice of Assessment).
