If anybody needs 'free' tax filing, let me know. I will have few available slots at TurboTax.

Are you offering to do my taxes, @Yummy ? 🤣🤣🤣

Mine are free too... Turbo Tax, Simple Tax, Wealthsimple.... aren't most of them virtually free now?

Sharing is not so easy with turbotax.

Don't cheap out, buy your own. Keeping the program on the computer can be useful for future references or heaven forbid if the CRA knocks on the front door.

BTW, I will assume 'free' is not an offer to sell a product in this forum. That would be a no-no.

I can't imagine that's how @Yummy meant it, @will13am

I'd be less concerned with CRA knocking on doors these days... they're just calling everyone and threatening legal action if you don't send them bitcoin for your "overdue taxes".

🤣🤣🤣

I keep tax records for at least 6 years as suggested by the CRA. The 2015 tax program is still installed on the computer. I am probably going to leave it installed as it does not take up much storage space.

OK. No, I am not selling it! Absolutely not!

I will use 2 or 8 available returns thus 6 returns are available. Since I bought the product already I have no intention to 'rent' it or similar. Available 6 returns are absolutely free. Now, how to use it might be tricky.

And NO, I cannot share program nor activation code with anybody.

That was just an idea. And yes, I can do your taxes for free (since I have software already 😁) not a big deal.

I always prefer to have my own copy of a program; I do not trust all those on-line options. When e-filing I believe my data will not go to Intuit but directly to CRA but you never know. Some people like to do taxes on-line ent4ring all that data on somebody's web site, but not me.

I am not aware of any free tax software you can install on your PC and do your taxes including filing.

Actually there are free options but your income has to be something like <25K and very simple.

@Yummy

You can only register 2 computer on Turbotax.

Re: TurboTax

Yummy — Fri, 11 Feb 2022 22:57:31 GMT

I use only one PC and still I will never share activation code with anybody.

However, since I will have 6 available returns left I am willing to offer them to whoever needs them with No compensations whatsoever. I believe that does not infringe in any copyright or whatever as nowhere in Intuit's small print it says I cannot use all available returns for my friends/family returns.

Yeah, how would that work if you don't share the activation code? Wouldn't the person you're filing it for then have to give you their personal info, including address, birthdate and SIN#?
