Blair,

you seem fishy to me…actually an employee or wannabe employee of TurboTax..

you seem a bit foolish too, you download it and then you want a refund right after that
isn’t that a bit strange?

Do not try to discredit the few canadians who atually do good work…lol

I downloaded this software and upon launching the software I realized I had made a mistake and contacted TaxFreeway immediately for a refund. They are now giving me the run around and avoiding the return of my funds. I discovered too late that the company is not an established software firm but an individual working out of his basement in Markham.
Use TurboTax !

Thanks for the article!

I’ve been communiting with TaxFreeway customer service and they’ve been quick to respond each time. I would to be able to use QuickTax, but like Jim Marin said, they bailed on a Mac friendly version, so why should I give them my money?! Plus, with TaxFreeway you can file up to 20 returns for less money, as opposed to paying $20 per return with QuickTax. And TaxFreeway supports all CRA forms, so I can file, my and my mother’s return, and she’s a pension collector. This is a first for me, I usually use H&R Block, so I’m looking forward to saving some money!

Thanks again!

This package offers two things I have had a lot of problems finding. a) it runs on a Mac, and b) it has a Canadian version. For these reasons alone I would recommend it. Having tried the trial version, I purchased it and ran my tax prep bill for my family from almost $1,000 to $15 CDN (with a few hours work on my part). Good package.

I have used computer tax programs for many years- Cantax, Ufile, Taxwiz, etc. and my top choice is TaxFreeway. All Canadian and the bargain basement price of $9.95 is incredible for this quality product. E-mail help is turnaround and efficient. Thanks to the guys who created it- they are true Canadians helping us through the annual tax maze.

I am a Mac addict. I used QuickTax for many years, and then Intuit bailed on QuickTax for the Mac in Canada. Tried TaxTron. Very unfriendly. Antiquated approach. Gave up. Tried TaxFreeway on trial, and bought it. So far, it works fine on my Mac. I am about to Netfile, so will see how it communicates with CRA.

I have been using Taxfreeway fro more than three years now and am quite happy with the software.
Prior to such, I used Taxwiz and was happy too only to find that it was bought by Intuit to cut down the competition.
I am afraid that any cutting edge tax software such as this one may end up the same fade as Taxwiz.
Lets hope that it will not be the case!
