New 2017 Online Product Offerings Promise
Smart, Effortless Tax Preparation and Your Maximum
Refund Guaranteed
TurboTax®, Canada’s No. 1 best-selling tax software year after
year from Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq:INTU), today released its online tax
preparation products for the 2017 tax season. TurboTax Online
delivers unmatched ease, convenience and tailored guidance so
Canadians can get every dollar they deserve and can be confident
their taxes are done right.
More than half (55 percent) of Canadians plan to do their own
taxes this year, according to a recent national survey by TurboTax.
Many of them already rely on TurboTax to walk them through their
return step-by-step. A fully guided interview is tailored to the
individual’s unique tax situation so they can focus on the
questions that are most relevant to them.
TurboTax Online asks simple questions, like “Did you have a
baby?” and puts answers directly on the tax form; customers don’t
need any tax knowledge. TurboTax Online does all the hard work,
searching more than 400 tax deductions so customers can be
confident they are getting the biggest refund they deserve.
TurboTax also transfers data from the prior year’s return,
checks the Canada Revenue Agency’s “My Account” for this year’s
slips and automatically fills in information on the return, giving
customers a jump-start on their taxes.
Canadians claim to be early birds when it comes to their taxes,
with 80 percent filing as soon as they have their paperwork in
order. With TurboTax, Canadians have the luxury of seamlessly
switching between any device and can securely pick up right where
they left off at their convenience. Taxpayers can begin preparing
their taxes today in advance of the CRA official opening in
mid-February. This is especially relevant for the 69 percent of
Canadians who expect to receive a tax refund this year.
“TurboTax makes it easy for you to take charge of your taxes and
get them done right, worry free,” said Todd Stanley, general
manager of TurboTax Canada. “We take the stress out of tax time,
helping ensure that your return is accurate and complete, so you
can be confident you’re getting your maximum refund
guaranteed.”
For the coming tax season, TurboTax Online products include:
- Auto-Fill My Return: With
Auto-Fill My Return, TurboTax enables customers to instantly import
their official tax information, such as a T4 and RRSP investment
receipts, directly from their CRA “My Account” into their tax
return quickly and accurately. With just a few clicks, their tax
return is populated with the most accurate and up-to-date
information available, right from CRA.
- Comprehensive Help: TurboTax has
comprehensive customer support, including phone, chat and 24/7
answers from a community of experts and other contributors. This
year, TurboTax agents can co-browse in real time with the customer
so they can highlight next steps and actions easily and
quickly.
Canadians can also prepare and file their taxes for free with
TurboTax Free. New this year, TurboTax Free is also available in
French, extending completely free online and mobile tax preparation
to Québec.
