OK but can be more descriptive
I already wrote in my feedback but for some reason I am invited to write again here. You need your tax items to be more navigatable and searchable. "Student loan interest", "interst of student loans" are like the same and you should make sure if I search for student or loan or interest you turn up everything containing these words, NOT just those that start with any of these. Average users like me don't automatically know your interface design intent, so you need to treat me like I am totally clueless and rely entirely on whatever you turn up. I used this last year too and I encourage any progress you make.

Good free software
Glad to have this software but was a bit confusing as i was completing my deceased mother's return and the form was done in first person which made it a bit confusing as to what i should be answering as her representative and what I should be answering as her. Found it a bit difficult to go back to find medical expenses. Otherwise it was great

I Got It Done
Their free service is fine if you have little to no income. Not an easy user interface to use. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody making income from multiple sources (summer job + arts and crafts sales + tailoring + royalties + etc.) and other passive income.

Easy Tax Program
Easy to use, does not take a lot of time. Only complaint is the number of times they ask if you want to buy something extra or upgrade. Seems to happen more and more each year. Enough already!

Free Simple Tax Return
It was fast and easy to use for a very simple tax return. The only drawback was that it was annoying how many times I was offered to pay for an upgraded service that I did not need.

Very helpful
It would help to have a list of Codes and Passwords that are going to be needed right at the start
It would be tremendously helpful to have an option with all dark letters/text for users like myself that have advance nacular degeneration or eyes trouble as many people have. All the highlighting makes it very hard to read what's below, even with the magnifier on.
Thank you for this opportunity. I wish you surprise me next year.
Be well and joyful on your walk

Thanks Turbotax
A great way of knowing and understanding how your taxes are filed. Entering your data is quite challenging making sure you are entering the accurate information.

Almost Perfect
Pros:
- TurboTax expands on box 105 for T4As so one can look at different categories.
- Option to carry forward donations.
- Warnings
Cons:
- TurboTax doesn't ask the name of the parent that I want to carry forward my tuition to.

As a senior , Covid pretty much made me finally do taxes electronically. This program was actually easy for me to navigate. I would suggest ,at the end when asked if I have or have not set up direct deposit , there should be a Not Sure option. I am still trying to find out from CRA if I have this...will spend another day on the phone , on hold with them...crossing my fingers

An interesting year
A wonderful free option for when you do not need help. There are always tweaks to be aware of in the software, legislation and life, but, a plus for 2020, in a year of so many minuses.

Heavy upsell
Very good product, but pushes the upsell what feels like every other screen-- folks on welfare really don't need this, once social assistance is posted as only income perhaps this could be skipped?

Bumps in the road
When I log onto my file, I do not get the same process each time. The system does not always seem to remember what I did before, and I was invited more than once to start my 2020 return. So I am not quite sure what is retained. I am still trying to get past loading my files from CRA. Will keep trying and let you know later.

Good software, easy to use for a general return. As a Quebec user I had to input my R1 information manually, even if my T4 information was input automatically. A warning of this would be nice to include.
