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.

TurboTax Reviews Your Return Before You File.

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 tax return before you file by:

• Reviewing your return for errors before you file
• Looking for missed deductions that you may qualify for
• Pointing out money-saving opportunities you should take advantage of
• Helping you get the biggest refund you deserve

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 - The Paper-Free Way.

And Get Your Refund in as Little as 8 Days.

When you've completed your tax return with TurboTax Premier Online Edition, save yourself a stamp and save a tree... by choosing to file with NETFILE⁵ 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.

To NETFILE, you'll just need an Internet connection and the online filing code the CRA provided 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.
