if it's nothing complicated ufile is a good choice, easy and straightforward. H&R block charges like 50-70 bucks to do it for you don't they?

The exact number escapes me (and the article below). CRA extends tax filing deadline amid chaos created by Heartbleed bug - The Globe and Mail | |

Competent tax preparers will calculate your tax return the exact same way. Whether H&R block was competent in doing yours, only a tax professional would know. To each their own, but generally they are not very reliable. Are you certain you weren't supposed to get back $6k instead? Or maybe they over calculated and you should only get back $2k, thus making you owe? I'm not saying you need to worry, but just pointing out that getting a cheque in the mail doesn't mean they did a good job (or bad). | This is correct. Someone who gets you the highest refund is not necessarily the best tax preparer.
As someone with a strong financial background, I will say this..
For the majority of the population, H&R Block will be sufficient and do a good job with your taxes. H&R Block will fuck up often but MORE often you make so little money CRA won't care or they just won't catch it.
If you don't have a clue about our tax system, go see H&R Block. If you make real money, go see an accountant.

We're simply pointing out to you that that is not an indication of whether they're reliable or not. Nobody's jumping anyone, but rather trying to keep people informed.

Personally I recommend Studio Tax. If you prefer web based there's a new one this year called Simple Tax that wasn't bad.
