TurboTax Guides You Step-By-Step Through Your Tax Return.
Just like a GPS in your car, TurboTax literally maps out your return as you make your way to your refund with these handy and helpful features:
Mapping icons: Know exactly what stage of your return you're in, and how far you need to go to finish
Set flags anywhere: Easily mark sections you need to revisit, so you can find them again later - without getting lost
Accuracy check: Double-checks your return for errors, helps you correct them and ensures every tax-saving opportunity has been found
What does this mean? It means that you can have confidence knowing your return is accurate. It means that you'll know exactly when one section is complete and you're ready to start another. It means that you'll know exactly where you are in your return, and how far is left to go. And it means that you're in control over how and when you prepare your return.

All you should be concerned with is entering your information. Let us take care of double-checking your return and making sure everything is in order. TurboTax reviews your simple tax return before you file by:

Looking for missed deductions that you may qualify for

NEW! Audit Risk Alert.
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. And Get Your Refund in as Little as 8 Days.
When you've completed your simple tax return using TurboTax Free Online Edition, save yourself a stamp, save a tree and save some time...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.2
To NETFILE, you'll just need an Internet connection and the online filing code the CRA provided you on your 2011 personal income tax return package (along with your Notice of Assessment). If you don't have your code, contact the CRA to get one.
