Good Program
I have been using for years. It’s very helpful for simple tax returns. It helps give me a basic understanding of my tax returns. Sending to an accountant gives me no understanding. This is important, as the professionals don’t always ask for everything that may affect your return. For example, an expensive accounting firm did not ask for investment banking fees.

Terrific App!
I have now used this app for a number of years. Its quality and ease of use never fails to impress me. I am extremely grateful for having this service available to deal with the otherwise stressful process of dealing with the CRA.
Great Program: My wife and I are helping someone out
One of you competitors suggested your program StudioTax since we are filing 10 years in the volunteer program going back to 2015 up to 2025. I have a solid book keeping back ground and I was very pleased how quickly I figured out how to use the program. I emailed once for help got a quick reply. For those of you who don’t know it is suggested that you go back 10 years in the volunteer program and they have to all be submitted at once when you make the application. Time was of the essence so we have spent the last week 1/2 compiling from his records enough backup to prepare the returns. We are happy to help this person out..they lost their way but want to get back on track. It will be at least 3 years before they wrestle the debt to the ground…but they don’t want to live with constantly looking over their shoulder. Thanks for helping out as well.

Leaves something to be desired
Does not support landscape view. Not very intuitive. Certain portions of the screen are messy. Does the job and it is free though.
Can be somewhat awkward
The app isn’t as clear as the desktop version, but my oas is no longer supported so forced to use ipad. Overall still beats paper filing hands down
This Year It Has Serious Usability Problems
Normally this app, through the previous years and iterations, has had its idiosyncrasies, but most of them have been bearable. But this year, the app did two things that are breaking it for me: 1) On iPad it only works in portrait mode. I like to use the tablet with magic keyboard (landscape mode) and can’t; And, 2) To this date (late August 2025) the Create PDF is still not working, but hanging the interface. That means that I can’t create a report for my records. As an app it still does a lot of the heavy lifting and managed to file a return, and for that I am grateful. I just hope that the developer has the wherewithal to solve the bugs.

Reliable for over a decade for me
Have loved using studio tax for every single return.
Solid clear and reliable
I have used studio tax for 20 years or something…have filed friends taxes with it…always works, always solid always helpful…makes taxes almost fun!
Excellent
I have been successfully using studio tax for the past five years. I have used it to file general T4 as well as self-employment. It is simple and straightforward and very user-friendly. No funny or frustrating glitches and errors. I highly recommend this platform for any Canadians looking to simplify their tax filing. Great job studio tax and thank you for providing Canadians with this excellent service.

Grateful for the iOS app
I’ve been using studio tax for several years now. This is a clever implementation for iOS devices. Thanks guys.
So easy!!
I am technologically challenged and it’s even worse having to do my taxes. But StudioTax2024 made it a dream to file my tax return!! Thank you so much, you’ve made my day!!
I phone
It no longer works on the laptop very hard to read. You should’ve left it with Windows 7 because it works really well and I’m not changing it to Windows 10 or 11. They don’t work very well.
schedule 6
i could not find schedule 6 from the form list.
Worked well
Took a bit to understand how the system worked but fine after that
Thank you.
The App worked well and I was very pleased to find this great alternative for lower income Canadians. Also I’m technical a dinosaur, so if I can do it so can others.
Great Program
Have used for years after it alerted me to refund money another program didn’t. Very nice surprise.
Solid again
Well done, BHOK!
