Did you know?

Many of the ideas floating around about filing online are actually not true. Why are some people still filing paper returns?

Here is a common myth:

“It costs money to file my return online.”

Not true! There are many software packages and Web services available with different features at different prices. Some free options are available to those with qualifying lower incomes, which is great news for some students, seniors, and lower-income families. There are also some products available free to all taxpayers.

For a list of software and Web service options, including those that are free of charge, go to www.netfile.gc.ca/software.
