Here's a diagram showing all the Canadian tax software options, almost everything is made by a Canadian company except two of the most commonly used.

Please stop using turboTax and H&R Block, you'll likely save quite a bit of money by switching to one of the Canadian owned options too. (H&R Block charges $49.98 for a typical couple, Studio Tax charges $17.50 for up to 10 returns). GenuTax is completely free to use.

Links to each of the Canadian options are available on ShopCanadianStuff.ca

Why do all the Canadian options look like they were made by a teenager in 2004

Tbh I found the same. The one I use has garish colour scheme (which has improved) and initially I thought wtf. But their focus is the bankend, rules,math and logic. In 15 minutes I can have my taxes done and filed online and it only cost me $15 for max 20 filings.

You don't want to do your taxes with the Comic Sans racecar app "Tax Freeway (for Win)"?

Oh man, you should try Genutax...unless they've updated since I used it last (I'm a couple years behind), it looks closer to 1994

I used GenuTax for Pc for a few years beginning 2019. I’m not looking for pretty or sleek. It was clear and logical. And it was free! This year i bought Studio Tax (which i used for a few years in the ‘teens when it was free) for under $20 for up to 10 returns. It works great and is Canadian.
