ProFile T2 vs UFile

ProFile T2 is Windows desktop software for preparing corporate T2/CO-17 returns, including amendments and consolidated returns. It supports unlimited returns and batch filing; electronic filing requires CRA EFILE registration. Corporate Linking shares tax information between related corporations and transfers RAC Details between returns. GIFI data can be imported from QuickBooks Online, Excel, and other accounting software, with carry-forward support for DT Max, Cantax, and Taxprep; availability can depend on module and version. The listed library includes over 130 CRA and provincial forms, T3 slips, and worksheets, including business, rental, and farming statements with asset tracking and CCA calculations. A real-time auditor identifies potential errors, indicates their seriousness, and offers correction explanations. Users can back up unlimited files and returns to the cloud and retrieve them later. The free trial includes all modules and features except filing completed returns. The T2/CO-17: Corporate plan is $1,190 a year and includes Québec and one license. Additional licenses cost $195 each for 1–4, $165 each for 5–7, and $145 each for 8 or more. Apple products are not supported.

UFile prepares Canadian personal tax returns covering employment, retirement, rental, investment, and self-employment income. Its online version runs in a browser, can use CRA Auto-fill to download information from most tax slips, and supports electronic filing with the CRA and Revenu Québec through NETFILE. UFile also supports capital gains or losses, and state filing is included. It says the software explores tax-saving opportunities and provides a Triple Guarantee covering accuracy, satisfaction, and best tax result.
