Here’s a diagram showing all the Canadian tax software options, almost everything is made by a Canadian company except two of the most commonly used.
Please stop using turboTax and H&R Block, you’ll likely save quite a bit of money by switching to one of the Canadian owned options too. (H&R Block charges $49.98 for a typical couple, Studio Tax charges $17.50 for up to 10 returns). GenuTax is completely free to use.

Why do all the Canadian options look like they were made by a teenager in 2004
Tbh I found the same. The one I use has garish colour scheme (which has improved) and initially I thought wtf. But their focus is the bankend, rules,math and logic. In 15 minutes I can have my taxes done and filed online and it only cost me $15 for max 20 filings.
You don’t want to do your taxes with the Comic Sans racecar app “Tax Freeway (for Win)”?
Oh man, you should try Genutax…unless they’ve updated since I used it last (I’m a couple years behind), it looks closer to 1994
I used GenuTax for Pc for a few years beginning 2019. I’m not looking for pretty or sleek. It was clear and logical. And it was free! This year i bought Studio Tax (which i used for a few years in the ‘teens when it was free) for under $20 for up to 10 returns. It works great and is Canadian.
