Standard includes everything in Basic, plus:

The EasyStep® Interview gets you started.

TurboTax asks simple questions about your tax needs and life situation with the EasyStep® Interview. Each question is easy-to-understand, so there's nothing to fear.

And as you go along, the EasyStep® Interview helps uncover hidden tax deductions you may qualify for.

Step-by-step GPS guidance. To your maximum refund. Guaranteed.¹

TurboTax works the same way as your car's GPS.

As you answer simple questions about your life and tax situation, TurboTax literally maps out your return. Which means:

• You always know where you are, and how far is left to go
• You can flag important areas in your return if you want to visit them later

It also means that you'll never feel lost when it comes to preparing and filing your taxes.

Find every possible deduction you can with the Deduction Toolbox.

Only TurboTax has Personal Profiling, an exclusive feature that helps determine what you can deduct.

By answering simple questions about your life situation, TurboTax identifies which credits and deductions are applicable to you - and then claims them.

And the Deduction Toolbox is an A-to-Z list of over 400+ deductions that you can look for to help maximize your refund.¹

Carry-forward last year’s tax info into this year’s return.

If you used TurboTax, UFile® or H&R Block® last year, you can import your 2011 tax data into TurboTax.²

Doing this saves you from missing any unused credits from last year.

It also saves you from having to manually entering in information, which helps improve the accuracy of your return.

Optimize your RRSP contributions.

The TurboTax RRSP Optimizer lets you see how different RRSP contribution amounts affect your refund (or tax owing). 

It helps you determine the optimum RRSP contribution for you and your spouse.

Pension income? Get more by splitting it.

If you have a company pension plan or Canada Pension Plan (CPP) income, you can split up to 50% of it with your spouse.  

The TurboTax Pension Income Splitting Optimizer automatically suggests the best distribution of your income, so you end up paying less in taxes.

We check your return with a fine tooth comb.

TurboTax is guaranteed 100% accurate³ We do everything we can to avoid mistakes.

Before you file, we check your return for any errors or money-saving opportunities you may have missed.

Nobody wants to make a mistake or miss out on extra money. So we check - and double-check - your return to ensure that everything is correct and that you get your biggest refund. Guaranteed.¹

Audit Risk Alert and Audit Defence.⁴ Two ways your return is protected.

With Audit Risk Alert you can see if any claims may trigger any red flags to the CRA - before you file. Which means:

• You're aware of any potential CRA audit risks
• You can make any changes you see fit
• You make an informed decision about your return

And with Audit Defence, you can have a tax professional represent you to the CRA in case your return is audited. Additional fees and restrictions apply.⁴
