How To Take Advantage of The Offer
- Go to www.ufile.ca and accept the offer on February 26th.
- Complete your tax return at any point after this date using UFile’s QuikClik interview that guides you through entering your tax information.
- UFile’s MaxBack Refund Analyzer reviews all of your information and optimizes to ensure the best refund possible.
- File online using NETFILE or print whenever ready.
- There are no restrictions on having a complex return or income level
You can also take advantage of UFile’s Pension Income Splitting optimization that eliminates guesswork by splitting pension income with a spouse or common-law partner.
UFile also includes a Home Renovation Tax Credit optimization tool that will divide the credits to best fit each tax scenario.
UFile will foot the bill in the unlikely case a customer incurs any interest or penalties based on the software’s incorrect calculations.

I am wondering, how secure is the sending of one’s S.I.N., date of birth, and all the other personal tax data all in one email over the internet, in this age of identity theft? Aren’t there fake sites that can redirect you from the real site in some cases? How would you know if a software site is genuine or fake?
We used the Studio Tax software, which was one that you recommended. We decided to download it and then work offline, and print out the finished pages for mailing instead of sending electronically.
We did receive one of those scam emails mentioned in one of your articles, pretending to be from CRA, titled ‘You are eligible for a $182,50 refund’ …no decimal point! I just deleted it, but it reinforces my feeling of vulnerability about sending information in emails. If we send paper copies, we can drop them at the Gov’t building’s special mailbox in the city. Are we over-reacting about this?

You have to know how your browser secures transmitted data. Look for the gold lock in Internet Explorer. Large companies like UFile, QuickTax, and even Studio Tax are all fine (any NETFILE certified provider is fine).
With respect to the phishing, I never respond to links I don’t know.
