It’s December, and that means tax season will soon be upon us. Taxes in 2020 were a little wonky, with extended deadlines, federal benefits programs, and extra tax credits for many Canadians. For this reason, we recommend that you get started planning your 2021 taxes now, and for many, the first step in the process is to choose an online tax preparer.
Even if you have had your taxes prepared in person in the past, this year, the Canada Revenue Agency recommends that Canadians file their taxes online, which is both more straightforward for you and safer due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Filing your taxes online is quick, easy, and safe.
In fact, the most challenging part about it might be choosing which online software you’d like to use! We’re big fans of TurboTax and SimpleTax.
In this article, we’ve done a Simpletax vs Turbotax comparison so you can choose the software that suits you best.
