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. Hannah:

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?
