What it is

TaxFreeway prepares Canadian federal, provincial, and territorial tax returns for individual filers. It supports self-employment, rental income, capital gains, and unlimited slips such as T3, T4, and T5. Returns can be completed in Interview mode, Form mode, or both. Tools include integrated spousal returns, tax tips, RRSP and split-pension planners, medical-expense and donation planners, and a return review. CRA services include Auto-fill My Return, NETFILE, ReFILE, Notice of Assessment through Tax Software Service, and address or direct-deposit changes. Returns are prepared and saved on the user’s computer, and the company says its website does not store personal financial information. Users with total family income of $20,000 or less can prepare and NETFILE at no cost. Windows and Mac product keys cover up to 20 returns for the current tax year, priced at 9.95 USD and $14.95, paid once. Quebec TP-1 returns and several electronic form transmissions are excluded.
