great for basic returns
I had a pretty simple - single parent, 1 dependent - return to file and found other than the font/layout of the receipt forms, the software was easy to use and did exactly what I needed it to for a low price.

best tax file product
easy to use, best cause all you do is type in amounts of
boxes in any all T4's received, program does the rest
no thinking, questions have I forgotten something or
missed an eligible deductions for more of a refund

Mixed Feelings
It is a little confusing for a new user. This was my first time using it. It does calculate a handsome refund. So if you are willing to persist through a little confusing software prompts for a good refund, you should use this.
I think the writers of this software should make the template easier to use and have sample pictures and mini-tutorials on how to use this software.

could be easier
there are a few sections of the process that aren't explained very clearly. The section to actually file is a little confusing.

Net Filing not easy
I had trouble for the second year in a row trying to net file. I had to upload it myself to send to net file. I do not know if something is wrong in the settings of my computer but couldnt find any answers.

Best thing was not having to use a calculator.
Worst thing was the part when we actually wanted to print the copy to mail in our return.

Decent but ugly
Very straightforward to use, guides you through the whole process although the GUI is pretty ugly and wasteful of screenspace now that they're making it all Win8 style.
