I have stuggled through 35 pages of quick tax (business) and none of the pages proceeded to the next page with ease. I had to back a fill on every page to get to the next one.
Then to top it all off the damn software would not allow me to create a “.tax” file for net filing. In one way or the other every year has been the same. My software cost $40 and because I included my wifes with mine it also cost $40. Cheap bastards

[...] I’ve already downloaded QuickTax for doing our 2006 taxes (you can still get a $10 discount on QuickTax by downloading through the TaxWiz website) and I am not very keen on test-driving competing tax software products this year. The major products and their list prices appear to be the same as last year. [...]

Barry: Thanks for your comment. I am not very keen on test driving tax products this year. The $10 QuickTax rebate is still available from the TaxWiz website

Note also that Snaptax is gone… this was Intuit’s $10.00 offering last year.

Cutetax was just certified by the CRA (I sure the list will fill out in the next couple weeks).

Personally .. I used Studiotax last year and plan to do so again this year. I downloaded the 2006 version to see they had attached the provincial return for QC (not approved however). It will be nice if that works out since it will open careware tax software to nearly 100% of Canadians.

If you are lookin for NETFILE products I suggest this link:

If you are looking for tax calculators (with no netfile), I suggest these 3 products which are all free.

Is the Canadian Capitalist planning to testdrive any new software this year? Or will he stick with Quicktax. Last year IIRC he tested out Taxfreeway and gave it a semi thumbs up.

I’ll look into AVG/avast. I guess I have always used Norton and continue to do so due to sheer inertia.

For my taxes I use cutetax.ca which is much cheaper. I also use free virus scanning with AVG, but may switch to avast.
