EZTax vs StudioTax

EZTax offers online income tax filing, GST accounting and filing, TDS preparation, and virtual accounting.

Smart Tax Optimiser compares old and new tax regimes and surfaces deductions and exemptions for a user's income profile; Smart AIS Reconciliation checks AIS information against ITR entries for mismatches before e-filing. Capital Gains Intelligence computes LTCG, STCG, crypto gains, F&O profit and loss, and indexation benefits, and can import AIS, broker statements, and exchange data. GST tools cover accounting, invoicing, returns, and reconciliation. TDS services prepare returns 24Q, 26Q, 27Q, and 27EQ, with AI-assisted deductee management and TRACES validation. EZTax is available on Android, iOS, web, and Windows. It has a free plan and paid options from ₹249; the listed offerings include one-time and monthly prices, and some add GST.

StudioTax prepares and files Canadian personal income tax returns, from simple situations to returns involving self-employment or rental income. It supports CRA NETFILE, ReFILE, printed returns, Auto-fill my return, and Express Notice of Assessment. The personal license covers up to 10 returns, while CRA requirements limit filing to 20 returns per computer. The software is intended for individuals doing their own returns or preparing a small number for relatives and friends; tax professionals cannot use its NETFILE software for client returns. Desktop versions save returns on the computer, and StudioTax says personal information does not leave the computer. Windows and Mac versions support the T1135 foreign income form. Windows, iOS, and Android versions are certified for Revenu Québec NETFILE and printed returns; the Mac version is English-only and does not support Quebec provincial returns. StudioTax is free for eligible residents of Northwest Territories, Yukon, or Nunavut and for individuals with income of $20,000 per year or less, subject to its calculation rules. Returns from other tax programs must be transferred manually. StudioTax is based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
