UFile.ca Quick Review and Giveaway

For the past few years I’ve been using the online UFile. For my purposes (student, no non-registered investments) it’s been quick and easy.

Ufile. Always Ufile.

Paper returns, I’m old fashioned, but my returns are usually pretty straight forward. Would love to try out ufile.

I usually use a program, such as Ufile.

I have used H&R Block in the past because of their $30 student program. My dad has been using Ufile for a couple of years for his small business and he loves it.

1UP! I’m looking for a tax software right now. It couldn’t get any better.

Been using Ufile for the last 5 years

ufile.ca for the last 4 years :) thanks for the give away

I’ve used ufile.ca for the past several years but this year I’m having a hard time justify spending the money so I picked up the forms to go manual…we’ll see what happens!

I have used Ufile for at least the last 5 years, starting because they used to offer the product free to students. Wonderful program.

I’ve used UFile in the past, and it’s a good app. The last few years I’ve used Studio Tax, since it’s free. It’s a little less user friendly, but certainly gets the job done.

I’ve been using Ufile for 5+ years, easy to use and cheap

I usually get my cousin to do it but the past 2 years I have been telling her what to enter so I might as well do it myself. Ufile is actually on my short list of products to try.

Typically I use Ufile now. I used to use Quicktax but Ufile takes care of all of my needs right now

I have used UFILE since 2002, its a great piece of software. I’m now stuck doing taxes for both my parents and my wife’s parents as well :)

Count me in! I used QuickTax online last year and found it pretty good. I am planning on using Studio Tax this year because its free, but winning a free copy of UFile would work as well.

My parents have filed my taxes in the past. I would like to start doing it myself.

i usually file through H and R block in person
I did file through tax program software last year, it as not ufile

I’ve been using QuickTax since university since students got it free.

I was out of the country for 19 years. Last year I filed myself (I only worked two weeks in Canada in 2008!) This year, with four different jobs and a few small complications I would be delighted to try Ufile!

I really like using ufile and find the history of past tax filings very useful .
I would like to suggest that they provide an option to have some scenario
accounts within your account name for those of us that would like to do some projections using various salary projections re future tax plannig .

I have filed with Ufile in the past and would to use it again. It really simplifies things.

I’ve already purchased QuickTax, but I could use this coupon to give to my brother. I’ve used UFile before, but prefer QuickTax as it seems to have better help capabilities.

I have used Ufile for the last three or four years and have now helped the boyfriend do his taxes with it too. Generates a very nice PDF at the end too, which is great.

I’ve been using UFile for the last 3 years or so.

I like Ufile. I was going through a “buy Canadian” phase when I first started using it, and I especially like that it’s web-based, so you can pick up filling it out from any computer, and throughout the year, can refer to what you filed the previous year. I didn’t realize how often I needed to refer to my previous file until I started using Ufile.

I always have an accountant to do my taxes out of laziness… I like to have an excuse to switch myself to DIY though…

My Mom usually has her accountant do them for me…but this year I’m attempting to do it on my own!

I’m also a user of StudioTax which is free for everyone and works quite well, even with my semi-complicated financial situation.

I’d be willing to check out UFile if it was free, but otherwise I’ll be sticking with StudioTax.

I’ve too have been using the free StudioTax for the last few years to file my returns.

I’ve used ufile in the past when I was a student, but it’s been pen and paper for the past couple of years. I’m now going to check out studiotax as well.

I have used my accountant in the past but planned on trying online myself this year so winning a UFile.ca code would come in perfect this year!

My situation is pretty simple so I usually just use the government forms and mail it in.

I use QuickTax.

UFile.
I’m lovin’ it.

I am in. I would love to try Ufile. I always did my taxes by hand filling the paper version so far.

I’ve used UFile for the past couple of years since QuickTax has gotten quite expensive (I believe QuickTax runs about $39.99 these days). I like UFile much better than QuickTax (not just because it’s half the price – I find it to be more user-friendly). The non-web-based version of UFile Standard Edition is only $19.99 and you can do up to 8 returns with it. I’m not sure how many PCs you can load it onto, but, from past experience, it is at least two. (Every year, my parents buy the UFile software and then pass the CD on to me after they have loaded it onto their own PC.) I netfile with the CRA and have never had a problem doing this with UFile.

Have been using QuickTax for the past 5 years but am open to trying new things. Ufile and/or studio tax here I come!

I use TaxFreeway for Mac and Quicktax online. Since both are free to use, I do my (relatively simple) taxes in both and compare the results. If they’re pretty much the same, then I pay to file through whichever one is cheaper. It was TaxFreeway last year. I’d love to give uFile.ca a try though.

I give it to a relative to do my taxes.

I also recommend UFile software. It maximizes your income tax return and it saves your information for future years. I have been personally using it for the past 5 years. It is the most economical way to prepare your taxes in comparison to the other programs available – thus leaving more hard earned money in your pockets!

even though I am a tax accountant who could get their return e-filed for free at work, I still want to use netfile, because I don’t want to deal with the paperwork that e-filing involves. I have been really impressed with ufile the past 3 years.

i use Ufile of course

I’ve used uFile for the past 3 yrs – easy!

I normally use Quick Tax. Been using it for a few years but I dislike the regressive annual changes such as reducing the number of returns allowed that they have done in the past. Maybe time for a new program this year… Ufile sounds nice!!!

For so many years I have filed using an accountant – $50 out of my pocket for a service that I know I can take care of myself.

I have always been too intimidated by tax software but as I am starting to take a more proactive approach to my finances I feel that this would be a big push in the right direction of “financial self actualization.”

My taxes are simple – T4, RRSPs and student loans – with the hope that in the next year to 18 months a Smith Manoeuvre would be in the works!

I know I can do this tax thing so long as UFile can hold my hand through it!

Cheers

I’ve used UFile to file our family taxes for the last several years.

quicktax but didnt realize UFile was cheaper, definitely looking into it.

Filed with U-File for the past 4 years.
Plan to do it again this year.

I usually file my taxes online using taxtron.

Filed on line last year, will do so this year

Have filed via ufile for the past 3 years… very user friendly

@Susan (105) – no I’ve never done the cash back option, but a look on their website, indicates the following:

“If you qualify for Instant Cash Back, we’ll give you 85 percent of the first $300 of your income tax refund and 95 percent of the rest. For example, if you have a $600 refund, the amount you’ll receive from H&R Block is $540**. The $60 fee covers the entire cost of the Instant Cash Back service, including tax preparation.”

In my situation, my return last year was $825.95, and I paid a tax preparer – which cost me $94.45 + tax. If I had gone with the Cash Back option, as well – I would have needed to pay an additional $71.30 on top of the $94.45.

I know – I know, way too much money being thrown away. Truth is, several years ago – I was in a situation where I hadn’t filed my taxes for a few years. I just kept ignoring it (for a multitude of personal reasons), and when I finally decided to face it – H&R Block, was there to provide a service that ‘comforted’ me. I’ve been loyally going back, since.

Now that I’ve started educating myself, on personal finances (with the help of this site) – it’s time to break the ties =)…

ufile is the only way to go…

quicktax. But after reading these comments I’ll be trying ufile.
Pick me! Pick me!

I use ufile…. the price is right for me.

I’m old fashioned too…pen & paper. Then I phone them in. Would love to try UFile as I now have a rental property & suspect doing my taxes this year will be more complex.

I’ve been using Ufile for a few years now for both myself and my wife. Before that I was lumped in with my family because my father used an accountant.

As my taxes start getting more and more complex, I will be looking at getting an accountant, but for now, Ufile works great

Never tried Ufile…. I have always used QuickTax.

I’ve used Quicktax before, but the past few years I have been using Ufile and loving it!

I just switched to ufile last year, it’s a cheaper alternative fom Quicktax

I like ufile but I’m thinking about trying studio tax as well..free is good!

I use Quicktax but now it is getting too expensive.

i file online.using UFile or QuickTax.

Used to use QuickTax, but it became too expensive.
Switched to UFile last year.

StudioTax, unless I get a free copy of some other software (hint hint).

Sure could Ufile this year. Thanks for a chance to win a copy.

Paper, baby!

I use the Taxman software (free) from
http://pages.pacificcoast.net/~gthompson/2009.htm

I have been using ufile for a very long time, since it is the least expensive and provides the most returns per software package. It is straight forward and does the job!

I like and used Ufile for some years:
1. it is online, access from anywhere.
2.it keeps historical filings, easy reference.

I have one question:
To what degree of complexity of a tax filing that UFile cannot handle?

I typically have my accountant uncle do them but it might be time that I start doing them myself!

Last year I filed online using another tax preparation software program. Worked well, I’ll never do it by hand again!

I’ve been using UFile for the past 4 years!

I have used UFile since 2005
