Avoid mistakes when submitting your taxes

Mistakes can happen—even to the most seasoned tax filers. When this occurs, it may cause anxiety.

This feature will fully represent our customers in event of an audit by the CRA.

Simplify the filing process

If you feel stress and anxiety around taxes and tax time, we understand. Fortunately, TurboTax is here to give you a helping hand by making tax-filing easier.

TurboTax guides users through a step-by-step process. It will ask you questions about your situation, such as if you're married, you have kids, or you have moved within the past year. Based on your answers, it will tailor your tax return for you, so you know what sections to fill out. Also, it'll do comprehensive checks to ensure all necessary information is included and accurate.

The best part? You don't need to worry about crunching numbers or figuring out what provincial and federal tax bracket you fall into (but you're welcome to check out our handy Canada income tax calculator). That's because whenever there are changes to the tax brackets, TurboTax automatically keeps up. Our tax software can help with calculating taxes payable, deductions, and tax credits in Canada.

For instance, if you're self-employed and have claimed that part of your home was used as an office, our software will calculate the amount you're eligible to deduct. Also, with a user-friendly interface, it makes the filing process easy to complete.

Remember to look up the tax-filing deadline every year. For 2025, the personal income tax returns due date is April 30, 2026, and self-employed individuals need to file by June 15, 2026. (However, be sure to note that if you're self-employed and owe taxes, they need to be paid by the April 30 deadline.)
