UFile · Montreal, Quebec, Canada
What it is
UFile prepares Canadian personal tax returns for income from employment, retirement, rentals, investments, and self-employment. Its online service runs in a browser, can import most tax slips from the CRA through Auto-fill my return, and supports electronic filing with the CRA and Revenu Québec through NETFILE. The product also supports capital gains or losses, and state filing is included. UFile lists a free online return for qualifying taxpayers, including students, people with simple returns, first-time filers, and families with total income under $20,000. Other listed online options include a family head return and additional spouse or dependant returns in the same family file; PREMIUM plans add priority email, telephone, and chat support. UFile for Windows 4 covers four returns and stores tax data locally, while UFile ONLINE stores data on UFile’s servers and keeps a return copy available for several years. Both versions are available in English and French and handle Quebec returns. UFile recommends Windows 11; Windows 10 is no longer officially supported, and future compatibility is not guaranteed.
