    You can use our Free Online software if your return only has certain entries, otherwise you will be guided to upgrade.

    If there is donations in box 46 of your T4 or Employee-paid premiums (medical) in box 85 of your T4 this would require an upgrade to allow you to claim additional credits not included in the free version. Please see the list below enumerating what is or is not included in the free version.

    Simple tax returns include:

    Employment income

    Pension income

    Other employment income such as tips

    RRSP contributions

    Child care expenses

    COVID-19 benefits and re-payments

    Unemployment (EI) and social assistance

    Worker’s compensation

    Disability amount

    Worker’s benefit

    Amount for eligible/infirm dependents

    Tuition, scholarships, bursaries, grants, student loan interest

    Caregiver tax credit

    Disability transfer

    Home accessibility tax credit

    Tax on RESPs and RDSPs

    Tax installment payments

    Age amount

    Income, credits, and deductions not listed above are not covered by TurboTax Free, including:

    Employment expenses (meals, lodging, etc.)

    Donations

    Medical expenses

    Investment income and expenses

    Rental property income and expenses

    Self-employed income and expenses

    Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

    I was charged 3 times for 2 tax returns that should have been free. How do I get refunded for these.
