While Canadians are looking for money saving opportunities, Intuit Canada provides income tax software that guarantees the biggest refund possible. QuickTax 2008 is providing users with the Maximum Refund Guarantee, which promises an easy way to receive a bigger refund than any other tax preparation method.
The best-selling software makes it extremely easy for users to complete their income tax returns quickly and accurately. QuickTax is a great product for people who want to maximize deductions, as it offers useful tips and tax saving opportunities while walking users through their tax return.
Minimize Taxes and Maximize Deductions
QuickTax comes in four versions, from QuickTax Basic to QuickTax Business, to accommodate every unique tax situation. QuickTax Standard is ideal for people who want to maximize deductions, such as RRSPs, medical expenses, tuition and spousal and dependant credits.
New to the 2008 tax year version, QuickTax Standard, Platinum and Business automatically check to see if users qualify for over 400 possible deductions, including child care expenses, charitable donations and moving expenses. Since most people do not realize what can be deducted, this is a very handy tool.
Easy-to-use Tax Preparation Software
After a quick installation of the software, the first step is to choose the method of preparation. For the more advanced user, there is an option to complete the return form by form, but for the beginner there is a method that requires very little tax knowledge. EasyStep is an interview-based approach that asks plain-language questions and helps the user complete, review and file their return. EasyStep automatically completes the forms as the user goes through the guided steps.
The EasyStep interview also speeds up the time it takes to fill out the forms since it customizes the interview for each user and presents only the questions and forms each specific user needs.
Once the user finishes entering their information, a number of QuickTax tools begin looking for savings and missed deductions and double-check for any errors. This not only helps increase the refund but also guarantees accurate calculations.
QuickTax Standard even provides tax tips and audio and visual aides while the user works their way through the forms. A navigation pane shows users where they are in the preparation process and displays the estimated refund at all times.
Carrying Forward Information from the Previous Tax Year
The QuickTax software allows returning users to import information from the previous year. This option to carry forward automatically brings up any personal information and unused credits and saves the user some time on data entry.
More New Features Added to QuickTax 2008
QuickTax now includes eight returns, six more than in 2007. All CD and download products include eight returns for individuals with a net annual income of over $25,000.
And, as of January 2009, a live update is available that automatically calculates the best way to split pension income between spouses.
The whole QuickTax process is very fast and easy to follow. For $39.99, QuickTax Standard also includes free email support, free web-based product support and free setup/installation technical phone support, leaving virtually no room for mistakes.
