I have used QuickTax for many years in the past and decided to give StudioTax a shot for the last couple of years. The first time (2007 Tax Year), it worked flawlessly and I was very pleased and impressed with its performance.

For the 2008 tax year, I was not so impressed. The program allowed me to claim Ontario Tax Credits FOR BOTH my parents even though only ONE spouse can claim Ontario Tax Credits. I had gone through the step-by-step interview process at the beginning and told the program to “PROCESS AS A SPOUSAL RETURN”.

Unfortunately, it missed the error when I split the Property Taxes equally on both returns and it allowed the deduction FOR EACH spouse.

Now, as a result of the fundamental error, my mother has to repay over $900 plus interest. This is something the program should have caught, otherwise, why bother with the interview questions at all?

I think I’ll just stick with QuickTax next year. They guarantee their program’s accuracy.

Unfortunately, Studio Tax will only run on a relatively new PC – an unfortunate mismatch. My oldish P3/ winME would not install it properly. They picked the wrong platform. Too bad.

Again I was skeptical with this. Nothing is free and works well in today’s world. But I am happy to tell you that this software is very user friendly. I would recommend this to my friends and family.

thank you very much!

I am an employee of the CRA, and being an employee there, we get to access ufile for free… I tried it, but not my style.
I have been using studiotax instead. I find it very user friendly, and have pointed many of my friends in the same direction. For someone with little tax knowledge, they have had no issues with the program and very few questions. Studiotax takes care of everything.
And for the amazingly low price of nothing.. you just can’t beat it.
Cheers

I was skeptical when someone suggested StudioTax over QuickTax for my 2007 return. However when I started using StudioTax I was amazed at the accuracy and quality of the product, not to mention the easy to use user interface and the wonderful guides.

And of course, the price can’t be beat

Keep up the good work
